Why choose this cored wire?

  • Excellent resistance to violent impact and pressure
    ➤ Ideal for environments where parts are subjected to extreme mechanical stress (impact, crushing, twisting, etc.).

  • Pronounced strain-hardening effect
    ➤ Moderate initial hardness (~ 200 HB), but can rise to 45-55 HRC with impact, thanks to a hardening austenitic structure.

  • Very good deposit toughness
    ➤ Non-cracking deposit, good strain absorption, suitable for massive parts or parts exposed to dynamic loads.

  • Multi-layer reloading possible
    ➤ No risk of cracking even with several successive passes.

  • Compatibility with manganese and low-alloy steels
    ➤ Excellent for repairing or protecting Hadfield steels.
