DESCRIPTION:
Tube-Alloy 240-O is a self-shielded, flux-cored wire that deposits a chromium carbide alloy steel. The deposits combination of very good abrasion resistance and moderate impact resistance makes it an excellent general purpose alloy. The Tube-Alloy 240-O is designed for overlay on carbon, low alloy, or austenitic manganese base metals or can be used over a weld base of Tube-Alloy Build Up-O, 218-O or AP-O. Some stress-relief check cracking will occur. This cracking is not detrimental to the wear properties of the deposit and provides some degree of stress relief for the weld metal.
OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Tube-Alloy 240-O has a steady arc with a globular transfer. Spatter and noise levels are minimal. The minimal slag coverage allows it to operate well in automatic applications without slagging between passes. Out-of position welding is limited to a horizontal shelf technique.

Start with middle ranges and adjust accordingly. Higher amperages will increase deposition rate, dilution, and heat input to base metal. Increasing voltage will widen and flatten bead profile, but excessive voltage will result in porosity. Too much electrical stickout may result in increased spatter, too little may result in internal porosity.
