D812 Cobalt Base Electrode

Quality D812 Cobalt Base Electrode RCoCr-B: Gold Standard Guardian for High Temperature and High Pressure Valves

In harsh industrial environments, when equipment needs to resist high temperature softening, severe wear and chemical corrosion at the same time, ordinary steel often fails quickly. Quality DE D812 cobalt-based electrode (RCoCr-B)(modelEDCoCr-B-03), as a classic casting cobalt-chromium tungsten alloy electrode, with its excellent comprehensive performance and stable workmanship, has become the gold standard for high temperature and high pressure valve sealing surface surfacing in petroleum, chemical and electric power industries.
This electrode complies with stringent standards such asGB/T 984,AWS A5.21 andISO 14343and is designed for conditions where high hardness is required at 650 ° C.

🔬Product core: Why choose quality D812?

The core competitiveness of QDE D812 cobalt-based electrode lies in its unique“ high-carbon high-chromium” alloy system:
● 
Excellent high temperature red hardness and wear resistance: this is the killer of the electrode. Quality D812 surfacing metal can still maintain extremely high hardness (HRC44)at650℃. Its carbon content is controlled at 1.0%-1.7%, and with high chromium and tungsten elements, it forms a hard carbide skeleton, which makes it perform well in high temperature wear environment, far exceeding ordinary stainless steel and D802 electrode.
● 
Excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance: high content of chromium (Cr 25-32%) forms a dense oxide film on the weld surface, giving it strong acid resistance, alkali resistance and oxidation resistance. It can effectively resist the corrosion of steam, gas and chemical media, especially suitable for valve parts working in corrosive environments.
● 
Good comprehensive mechanical properties: Compared with ultra-high carbon D822 and other models, D812 has betterplasticity andthermal fatigue resistancewhile maintaining high hardness. It can effectively resist the impact of thermal shock (cold and hot alternating) and avoid spalling or cracking under high temperature cycle conditions.
● 
Excellent process adaptability: high quality D812 adopts advanced titanium calcium type coating formula,AC and DC dual-use(recommended DC reverse connection), stable arc, easy slag removal, minimal splash, beautiful weld formation, no need for complex follow-up treatment to obtain dense surfacing layer.

💡Welding process recommendations

In order to ensure the best performance of the quality D812 electrode, it is recommended that you follow the following process points during construction:
1.& nbsp;
Drying before welding: Before using the electrode, it must be baked at150-200℃for1 hour to remove the adsorbed water in the coating and prevent porosity.
2.& nbsp;
Preheating (critical):
○ 
Since cobalt-based alloys are sensitive to cracks, preheating at300-600 ° C isnecessary depending on the size of the workpiece and the type of base metal.
○ 
It is recommended to useDC reverse connection (electrode connected to positive electrode),low current, short arc welding, avoid large swing, in order to reduce the dilution rate of the base metal and overheating of the heat affected zone.
3.& nbsp;
Control the interlayer temperature: during welding, it is recommended to control the interlayer temperature at about350℃.
4.& nbsp;
Post weld heat treatment:
○ 
Tempering treatment at600-700℃ shall be carried out immediately after welding, and the temperature shall be kept for 1 hour and then slowly cooled with furnace.
○ 
Or immediately put the workpiece into a dry hot sandbox or plant ash to cool down to eliminate stress and prevent cracks.
