Eagle 673 High-Temperature Hardfacing Rod | 63–65 HRC

Eagle 673 is recommended for wear surfaces exposed to:

Coal
Ore
Sand
Cement
Gravel
High-temperature abrasive material handling
Erosion at elevated temperatures
Severe industrial wear environments

Designed for components subject to extremely high abrasion and erosion at temperatures up to approximately 1600°F.

AC or DC Reverse [+] Polarity

Clean the weld area thoroughly and remove fatigued or damaged metal before hardfacing. Use grinding where practical, or Eagle 188 airless gouging electrodes where additional material removal is required.

Use the lowest effective amperage while maintaining a short arc length. Apply either stringer beads or weave beads depending on the application.

All welding should be performed in the flat or horizontal position, and no more than three layers should be deposited on top of one another.

Eagle 673 Chrome Plus is a high-quality hard-surfacing electrode engineered for excellent weldability and extreme wear resistance.

Its approximately 63–65 HRC deposit makes it one of the hardest products in your stick hardfacing lineup, while its ability to resist abrasion and erosion at elevated temperatures gives it a very specialized advantage.

Why Eagle 673?

Extreme abrasion resistance — 63–65 HRC deposit is designed for severe abrasive wear.

High-temperature performance — maintains strong abrasion and erosion resistance at temperatures up to approximately 1600°F.

Built for abrasive materials — ideal for coal, ore, sand, cement, gravel and similar aggressive media.

Specialized severe-service alloy — designed for applications where both wear and heat are major concerns.

673 or Conventional Hardfacing?

Choose Eagle 673 when the application combines extreme abrasion with elevated operating temperature.

Choose products such as 634 or 636 when the primary concern is severe abrasion at more typical operating temperatures.

In simple terms:
673 = extreme abrasion + high heat
634 / 636 = severe abrasion at conventional temperatures

1/8" / 3.25 mm — 130–170 A
5/32" / 4.00 mm — 170–210 A
3/16" / 5.00 mm — 220–290 A
