Mechanical characteristics

Hardness - 3-Layer deposit
Work hardened: 45-55 HRc

Why choose this cored wire?

  • Excellent work-hardening properties
    The austenitic deposit has an initial hardness of 20 to 25 HRC, which can rise to 45 to 55 HRC under high impact and pressure, increasing wear resistance.

  • High impact and pressure resistance
    Ideal for parts exposed to demanding service conditions, such as crushing equipment or railway components.

  • Compatibility with various steels
    Can be welded to ferritic and austenitic steels, including “Hadfield” manganese steel, offering great application flexibility.

  • Multi-layer capability without limitation
    The deposit can be applied in several layers without risk of cracking, enabling efficient rebuilding of worn parts.
