Oerlikon Citolit 12CT description: CITOLIT 12CT is a cobalt base continues cast hardfacing rod with type ER CoCr-B for GTAW/TIG and
OAW/oxy-acetylene welding, supplied with 5kgs tube packaging. Suitable for use with Ar shielding gases. CITOLIT 12CT is applied for welding of cutting tools, shredding tools, saw blades, extrusion dies, mixing tools, hot working tools without thermal schock, extrusion screws in the wood, paper and plastic industry. Only machinable with tungsten carbide tools or by grinding. For oxy-acetylene welding use a reducing flame (slight excess of acetylene). Preheat large components or special steels to 400-600C. Keep this temperature during welding and cool down slowly, preferable in an oven, to reduce the risk of cracking while cooling. CITOLIT 12CT has a very good resistance to metal-metal wear, abrasion, cavitation, corrosion and heat up to 900C. Excellent gliding characteristics, good to polish.
