Oerlikon Citolit 6CT description: CITOLIT 6CT is a cobalt base continues cast hardfacing rod with type ER CoCr-A for GTAW/TIG and
OAW/oxy-acetylene welding, supplied with 5kgs tube packaging. Suitable for use with Ar shielding gases. CITOLIT 6CT is applied for welding of valves, valve seats and other sealing faces, hot pressing tools, pump parts, extrusion screws. Machinable with tungsten carbide tools or by grinding. For oxy-acetylene welding use a reducing flame (slight access of acetylene). Preheat large components or special steels to 300-600C. Keep this temperature during welding and cool down slowly, preferable in an oven, to reduce the risk of cracking while cooling. CITOLIT 6CT has a very good resistance to metal-metal wear, cavitation and corrosion as well as heat up to 900C. Excellent gliding characteristics, good to polish, non-magnetic.
