Product description
- Flux-cored wire for gas-shielded arc welding
- Deposits a martensitic alloy offering good resistance to abrasion and erosion 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.
Examples Dredge pump parts, sand pumps, cylinders, drill bits, pulleys…

Why choose this cored wire?
- Exceptional resistance to pure abrasion
The FCW W-O is designed for environments where wear is by dry abrasion (no significant impact).
It contains a very high proportion of carbides (often of the chromium or complex type), which form an ultra-hard deposit.
- Very high hardness
The deposit often reaches a hardness of > 63 HRC, sometimes higher.
Excellent long-term performance on parts subjected to abrasive materials such as sand, minerals or plant fibers.
- Non-machinable but high-performance deposit
Once deposited, the metal is very difficult to machine (grinding only).
But it forms a highly resistant barrier layer that protects the original part.
- High yield
Good deposit rate, clean merger.
Helps reduce maintenance time and increase refill intervals.
- Self-protected (if applicable)
Some versions can be used without protective gas, making on-site interventions easier.
