Product description
– Flux-cored wire for gas-shielded arc hardfacing
– Deposits a martensitic alloy offering good abrasion and erosion resistance at high temperatures
– Retains good hardness up to 500°C
Product application instructions
APPLICATIONS
– For hardfacing applications requiring good resistance to abrasion with violent impacts, as well as for deposits requiring high hardness without major cracks.
– On solid parts, use FCW WLC as a reconstitution or undercoat and only apply the last pass with FCW W-G.
Examples Dredge pump parts, sand pumps, cylinders, drill bits, pulleys…
Welding positions: FCW W-G can be welded both flat and in position. Adapt transfer mode and welding parameters as for solid wire.

Why choose this cored wire?
- Extreme wear resistance
It is formulated to offer excellent resistance to severe abrasion, even in the presence of moderate impact.
Ideal for parts subject to intense friction: buckets, blades, Archimedean screws, grinding parts, etc.
- Ease of use
Available in a self-protected version (no protective gas required), making it easy to use on site or outdoors.
Good arc stability, even deposit, low spatter.
- Hard, long-lasting deposit
The deposit is very hard (often > 60 HRC), which prolongs the life of the parts being reloaded.
Carbide content (Cr, Nb, or others depending on formulation) for exceptional wear resistance.
- Maintenance savings
Reduces parts replacement frequency.
Less downtime means long-term cost savings.
- Adaptability
Compatible with different welding positions depending on diameter and setting.
Can be used on mild or low-alloy steel, after buffering if necessary.
