    Gas-shielded, peripheric continuous electrode
    CAVITEC

    GMA
    For semi automatic and roboting welding

    Description
    Cavitec represents a new alloy system concept around a high
    strength cobalt alloyed austenitic stainless steel for combating
    intense cavitation damage and corrosion often occurring in
    hydraulic engineering fields such as Francis, Kaplan and pump
    turbines.
    Formulation was developed, tested and patented by Hydro-
    Quebec under the trade name Ireca and exclusively licensed by
    Eutectic+Castolin for manufacture and distribution under the
    designation Cavitec.
    Over a decade of practical service trials by Hydro-Quebec
    Montreal, Canada, has clearly confirmed the superior
    performance of Cavitec on hydraulic equipment parts as
    originally demonstrated by different laboratory tests. The ferrous
    based Cavitec alloy system uses a precise balance of Cr, Cd',
    Si, Mn, N element additions to promote the formation of micro
    crystailine grains characterised by low stacking fault energies.
    This means that energy absorbing mechanisms such as planar
    slip, grain twinning, and rapid strain hardening are favoured
    within the atomic lattice structure thus effectively dampening the
    intense shock wave impulses generated by cavitation.
    Cavitec GMA is available as a gas-shielded, metal-cored,
    continuous electrode.

    Applications
    Mainly for preventive and repair coatings on Francis, Kaplan
    and pump turbines as well as other hydraulic machine parts
    subject to wear by cavitation in the following industries.
    Water pumping, irrigation, water treatment plants. Desalination
    plants and heat exchangers. Thermal power stations. Chemical
    pump rotors, casings, valves. Marine, ship propellers. Paper
    mills. Sugar mills.
    Procedure for use
    Preparation
    The welding area should be cleaned to remove all traces of
    contamination by rust, oxides, grease, paint etc. All fatigued or
    damaged metal, cracks or prior deposits should be removed by
    grinding or by using ChamferTrode 03 /04 to leave rounded
    edges.
    Preheating
    Generally not needed. If used, should be adapted to suit the
    supplier's recommendations of the base material, size of work
    piece and coating thickness requirements.
    Buttering layer
    Generally not needed. In certain cases depending on the base
    metal composition and coating thickness required, a buttering
    layer with EnDOtec DO*24S will improve the ductility of the
    Cavitec deposit.
    Welding
    Welding current: =(+) [reverse polarity].
    Possible welding modes: short-circuit or preferably pulsed-arc
    metal transfer. For multipass, downhand coating, optimum
    fusion is obtained with a backhand or forehand welding
    technique respecting an angle of 70-80 between the torch and
    the workpiece.

    Equipment
    Cavitec GMA 1.2 and 1.6 mm electrodes can be used with
    any standard flat-characteristic power source and a wire feeder
    with 2 or 4 feed rollers. We recommend 4 roller feeders
    preferably with smooth feed rollers for 1.2 mm and knurled
    feed rollers for 1.6 mm. A polyamide liner and 1.2 A or 1.6 A
    contact tubes (aluminium) are also advised for optimal use.
    Machining
    Machinable with carbide tipped tools, easily grindable to polish
    finish and may be plasma cut.
    Packaging
    For optimum protection, Cavitec GMA is packed under a
    moisture-resistant wrapper
    .
