Captain 600LH is a basic coated AC/DC all-position electrode depositing a weld metal containing chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. The weld metal which has an approximate hardness of 550 - 650 HV (53 - 58 HRC) is grindable only and has good resistance to abrasion with moderate to high impact resistance. Due to its high alloy content, the deposited weld metal has excellent hardness to 500°C.

Applications:

Captain 600LH deposits a martensitic steel weld metal which is suitable for use on a wide variety of tool and metal-to-metal applications such as guillotine blades, punches, dies, pneumatic drills, chisels, axes, ripper teeth and wood chipper anvils.

Captain Manganese is a basic coated electrode designed to provide a non-magnetic austenitic 11 - 14% manganese deposit for service involving high impact. The deposits are extremely tough, non-porous, and crack-free and work hardened readily under impact loading to approximately 440 - 600 HV (45 - 55 HRc). The electrode is recommended for downhand welding only.

Applications:

Although primarily intended for reclaiming worn parts made from 11 - 14% manganese steel (Hadfield manganese steel), Mn can also be used for joining this material or Hardfacing carbon steel components subject to severe impact loads.
