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.
