FCW WLC-G
Cored wire for gas-shielded arc-cladding
Product description
– Flux-cored wire for gas-shielded arc hardfacing
– Deposits a martensitic alloy with low cracking tendency, offering a good combination of metal-to-metal and erosion wear resistance.
Product application instructions
APPLICATIONS
Alloy for heavy-duty hardfacing on solid parts subject to pressure and abrasion.
Examples Reloading blast furnace bell seats and rolling mill rolls
Welding positions: Can be welded both flat and in position (Ø 1.2 & 1.6 mm). Adapt transfer mode and welding parameters as for solid wire.

Why choose this cored wire?
-
High resistance to abrasive wear
➤ Ideal for environments where materials are exposed to heavy abrasion (mines, quarries, public works, etc.). -
Very good resistance to moderate impact
➤ Combines abrasion resistance and impact resistance, making it versatile. -
Easy to use when welding
➤ Stable deposit, attractive bead appearance, low spatter. -
No preheating required in many cases
➤ Saves time and energy, especially on low-alloy steels. -
Excellent productivity
➤ Cored wire deposition is fast and efficient, ideal for large surfaces to be reloaded.
