Why choose this cored wire?

  • Excellent resistance to extreme impact
    ➤ Ideal for parts exposed to severe impact, crushing or continuous hammering.

  • Significant strain-hardening effect
    ➤ Austenitic deposit that hardens with use: low initial hardness (~200 HB), but can reach 45-55 HRC under the effect of impact.

  • Very good toughness and absence of cracking
    ➤ Highly ductile deposit, ideal for parts undergoing severe deformation without breaking.

  • Multi-passing possible without risk
    ➤ Deposited metal can be accumulated in multiple layers, even on complex or thick geometries.

  • For use on Hadfield and low-alloy steels
    ➤ Excellent compatibility for repairing or protecting manganese steel equipment.
