For build up and hard facing carbon, low alloy high manganese steels and cast iron. Olympia A is a universal hard surfacing alloy which produces a self-hardening deposit that resists both severe abrasion and impact. In addition, the high deposition rate significantly lowers application cost.
In maintenance welding, Olympia A is outstanding for extending the service life of parts such as crusher rolls, hammers, cutter heads, shovel buckets and teeth, pump housings and impellers, tractor rails, pins, hooks, conveyors and screws, tampers and augers, etc. Download PDF
