Description
Omega N Arc Welding Rods – Hardfacing Electrodes for Abrasion and Impact Resistance on All Ferrous Metals (SMAW) - 2lb Tube
Product Description
The go-to rod for maximum wear life.
Omega N rods deliver tough, low-friction deposits with a surface hardness of 60–62 RC, making them ideal for equipment facing extreme abrasion and impact. Built to handle high temperatures and aggressive wear environments, Omega N is a top choice for protecting components in mining, construction, agriculture, and manufacturing.
These rods apply smoothly and cleanly, with fast deposition rates and easy slag removal—reducing downtime and improving performance on paddles, augers, crushers, and more.
Key Features
- 60–62 RC surface hardness
- Designed for abrasion + impact resistance
- Excellent for all ferrous metals (manganese, carbon, alloy steels, cast iron)
- Fast deposition with smooth, low-friction finish
- High weldability and easy slag removal
- Maintains hardness at high temperatures
- AC or DCEP operation
Packaging & Sizes
- Electrode length: 14"
- Sold in 2 lb, 5 lb, or 11 lb plastic tubes
- Available diameters:
- 1/8"
- 5/32"
- 3/16"
Recommended Amperage Settings (±20%)
- 1/8": 110 Amps

Welding Instructions
- Clean the surface and remove all damaged metal
- Use a medium arc with the electrode at a 45º angle to the workpiece
- Weave as needed for coverage
- Preheat to 200ºF (149ºC) for alloy steels or cast iron
- Stress relief cracks may appear—these are normal and do not affect performance
Applications
- Augers, paddles, conveyors, wear pads
- Shovel lips, bucket teeth, and crusher jaws
- Drilling tools, mixers, and scrapers
- Any surface requiring extreme wear resistance and long service life
