For people that are curious about the welding parameters of hard facing rod are usually written on the box they are sold on. But with most that i have used, i keep my amperage slightly lower then a then the same size of a low-hydrogen rod, and have my polarity on AC instead of reverse. Mainly because this will reduce dilution of the base metal, and prevent any arc blow which you sometimes might get with these rods. Im a journeymen welder in Canada, Alberta, and been welding for 10 years.

Would a quick cold quench help this to be harder? or is a fast quench not required for this alloy?

@educatedrock i just used regular settings .

but i been wrong before :)

[educatedrock]

any particular heat setting because of the hardfacing rod or is it the same as a standard low- hydrogen.
