FCW AR-G
Cored wire for reloading
Product description
– Flux-cored wire for semi-automatic gas-shielded hardfacing
– Unsurpassed weldability
– Deposition rates 20% higher on average than corresponding solid wires
– Deposited metal is a high-speed steel that retains its hot hardness up to 600°C
– No moisture pick-up, perfect pay-off quality
Product application instructions
APPLICATIONS
Used for the manufacture or repair of high-speed steel tools and the hardfacing of cutting edges on non- or low-alloy steels. Hardfacing of parts subject to metal-to-metal wear without major impact.
Examples: Machining tools, cold shear blades, milling cutters, knives, wire guides, etc.
Welding positions: Can be welded both flat and in position (1.2 & 1.6 mm). Adapt transfer mode and welding parameters as for solid wire.

Why choose this cored wire?
- Metal-to-metal wear resistance
Perfect for parts exposed to slippery or sticky friction between metal surfaces.
Reduces the risk of seizing or cold welding.
- Tenacious, moderately hard deposit
Typical hardness around ~40-45 HRC, with good grip and resistance to cracking.
Suitable for parts subject to moderate to high mechanical stress.
- Good erosion resistance
Effective in environments where metal is exposed to particle flows, steam or charged liquids.
- Multi-layer reloading possible
Can be applied in several passes, enabling worn surfaces to be rebuilt while providing long-lasting protection.
- Versatility
Suitable for a wide range of parts such as axles, rollers, spans, slides, rails or hooks.
