Description
POSTALLOY PS-10 is a tungsten carbide, nickel base hardfacing wire designed to resist severe abrasion but unlike traditional tungsten carbide wires, it absorbs more impact without fracturing. Because of the unique chemistry, Tungsten-Carbide-Nickel-Chromium-Silicon-Boron, it also has excellent resistance to erosive wear, frictional wear, corrosive wear, and maintains its hardness, even at temperatures of 1100ºF (565ºC). Weld deposits contain over 50% fully fused, pre-alloyed carbides.
The alloying elements in this wire produce a high hardness alloy that encapsulates and protects the carbide particles, reducing premature wear caused by erosion next to the carbide particles. Postalloy PS-10 has very good weldability and a very soft arc, this, in combination with the nickel matrix, reduces weld dilution and carbide dilution to produce a truly outstanding multi-wear wire.
