Solid Wire Rod BA-TIG 420 for TIG Welding

Classification:
SFA 5.9: ER420

Main Application

BA-TIG 420 is a solid wire rod for GTAW, often used for surfacing applications which need superior resistance to abrasion. It requires preheat and inter-pass temperatures ≥ 225ºC, followed by slow cooling. Post weld heat treatment is used to temper the weld deposit. BA-TIG 420 is similar to BA-TIG 410, but with higher chromium and carbon content which increases the wear resistance.

Base Materials

AISI 420, X12Cr13: hardfacing results in higher hardness than with ER410.

Suitable fluxes: BF 38, WP 380

Flux type suitability is strongly dependent on its application. In combination with the wire electrode the most suitable flux should match the requirements of the plate material as closely as possible under the existing welding conditions. Further information can be obtained from the technical flux data sheets.
