Welding Electrode HF-500 KOBE STEEL is a high-quality hardfacing electrode for maximum protection against abrasion, ideal for mining equipment and heavy industry.
JIS Z3251 DF2B-500-B
Welding Electrode HF-500 is a specialized electrode for hardfacing applications formulated to provide maximum protection against abrasion wear.
With the ability to produce a durable hard metal coating, HF-500 is perfect for use on the surfaces of heavy equipment, excavator buckets, crushers, cutting blades, and other industrial components that experience high friction.
This welding electrode is capable of forming deposits with stable hardness and a tough metallurgical structure, making it a reliable solution for increasing equipment service life.
The HF-500 is also designed to be easy to apply, either in a flat or slightly tilted position, with neat welding results and minimal spatter.
