Blue Demon BD-7000 Hardfacing Electrode | 1/8"

Blue Demon BD-7000 Hardfacing Electrode – High-Speed Tool Steel Alloy for SMAW (Stick Welding)
Electrode for superior wear resistance and heat stability in cutting, forming, and tooling applications

The Blue Demon BD-7000 is a high-performance hardfacing electrode engineered to deposit a tough, high-speed tool steel alloy using manual metal arc welding (SMAW). This rod delivers exceptional resistance to metal-to-metal wear and maintains its hardness in temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F). When tempered, it can reach a hardness of approximately 65 HRC, making it ideal for tools, dies, and surfaces that demand long-lasting edge retention and cold wear durability.

Key Features:

• Designed for high wear resistance under moderate impact

• Maintains toughness and hardness up to 600°C

• Can be tempered to approx. 65 HRC for even greater wear resistance

• Suitable for friction, sliding, and cold cutting operations

• Excellent performance in flat and out-of-position welding (half-up, half-down)

Typical Applications:

• Cold shearing blades

• Machining tools and punches

• Milling cutters and industrial knives

• Wire guides and hardened precision surfaces

• General tool repair and wear protection

Welding Process:

• Manual Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / Stick Welding)
