Why choose this cored wire?

  • Excellent resistance to extreme abrasion
    ➤ Ideal for highly aggressive environments, rich in abrasive particles.

  • Very rich deposit of chromium carbides
    ➤ Forms a hard, wear-resistant layer that effectively protects surfaces.

  • High hardness
    ➤ Approx. 60-65 HRC after cooling, offering very long service life.

  • Suitable for shock-free or low-impact parts
    ➤ Perfect for static or low-impact mechanically stressed components.

  • Good surface finish and arc stability
    ➤ Easy to apply, clean, even bead appearance.
