Why choose this cored wire?

  • High resistance to abrasion and moderate impact: perfect for demanding environments.

  • Chromium-alloyed rutile cored wire: optimum combination of hardness and toughness.

  • Very good bead appearance: clean welding, few spatters, good surface finish.

  • Polivalent: suitable for many wear parts (rollers, teeth, hoppers, etc.).

  • Deposit hardness ~58 HRC: excellent durability.

  • Welding in any position (with a little practice): great flexibility of use.
