FCW 625

Nickel-based flux-cored wire for gas-shielded arc welding

Product description

– Nickel-based flux-cored wire for gas-shielded arc welding

– Latest-generation basic slag guarantees optimum metallurgical quality and weldability

– Complies with NiCrMo-3 classification

– FCW 625 offers many advantages over solid wire: improved weldability, better wetting, clean white beads, very good penetration, use of conventional mixed gas.

– High productivity for welding in horizontal position.

Product application instructions

APPLICATIONS

FCW 625 is suitable for joining and plating nickel-base alloys of the corresponding grade. It is also used for heterogeneous assemblies of different nickel bases with each other or with low-alloy or stainless steels. FCW 625 can also be used for joining 6% molybdenum austenitic stainless steels.

  • Chemical and petrochemical industry (piping, reactors, heat exchangers)

  • Offshore and marine (pumps, valves, flanges)

  • Nuclear (components exposed to corrosion and heat)

  • Energy (turbines, boilers)

Why choose this cored wire?

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
    ➤ Ideal for use in chlorinated, acidic, marine or high-temperature environments. It is also highly resistant to stress corrosion and pitting.

  • Excellent high-temperature resistance
    ➤ Mechanically and chemically stable up to 980°C. Perfect for cyclic or constant thermal environments.

  • High mechanical and fatigue strength
    ➤ Very tough deposit, with excellent resistance to mechanical stress, even under dynamic conditions.

  • Excellent weldability
    ➤ Smooth melting, stable arc, low cracking – even on sensitive materials (stainless steels, nickel alloys, C-Mn steels, etc.).

  • Versatile in hardfacing or assembly
    ➤ Used for welding Ni alloys, stainless steels, or as a buffer layer before hardfacing.
