Stellite repair/rework

(OP)
I just joined and came across some interesting information regarding stellite. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for repairing cracked stellite or adding additional stellite to a part that was machined improperly? Its greatly appreciated!!

RE: Stellite repair/rework

Check with your local welding consumables supplier. He will be the best to advise you with various options depending on your application.

RE: Stellite repair/rework

In addition to the above response, we have Stellite 6 in various valve applications across our Plants. Stellite 6 is repairable but requires elevated preheat at 500 deg F and weld repairs should be with Stellite 21 over Stellite 6, if possible. Otherwise, your only other option is to completely remove the Stellite and start over.

Stellite is a registered trademark of Stoody Deloro Stellite.

Contact them for info.  Many versions of it and usually excellent technical support.

RE: Stellite repair/rework

You might try TIG welding Stellite into the cracked region and then remachining it.

RE: Stellite repair/rework

Over the years I've been involved with welding quite a bit of Stellite including crack free ( well almost) Stellite 1.  I'd suggest you contact Deloro Stellite directly, and I'd start with Brad at 613-968-3481.
