POSTALLOY® 2501-B: Conforms to AWS CoCr-C. A high hardness cobalt base hardfacing alloy with outstanding
resistance to abrasion, oxidation, erosion and corrosion. Deposits are harder than 2506-SPL and 2512-SPL, and is
especially recommended for metal-to-metal wear. Deposits are highly resistant to galling, retain their high hardness at
red heat, and recover full hardness after exposure to temperatures as high as 1500°F (816°C). The higher hardness also
means a greater tendency to relief check upon cooling.
