Why choose this cored wire?

FCW FC-O is designed for high abrasion and moderate to severe impact applications.
It deposits an alloy enriched with complex carbides, ensuring excellent wear resistance.
Its self-protecting process means it can be used outdoors without the need for protective gas.
The deposit is self-hardening, offering optimum resistance even in difficult conditions.
It is ideal for parts such as buckets, teeth, blades or extruder screws.
Easy to apply, it enables fast, efficient on-site maintenance.
