Why choose this cored wire?
- Excellent impact resistance
Tenacious, crack-resistant deposit, ideal for parts subjected to repeated impact or vibration.
- Good abrasion resistance
Contains manganese, which provides good work hardness while retaining ductility.
Suitable for combined wear (abrasion + impact), especially on moving parts.
- Evolving hardness
The deposit hardens by work hardening, reaching up to 50-55 HRC after commissioning, while remaining machinable if required.
- Versatility
Suitable for a wide variety of parts: rails, crusher jaws, blades, teeth, hooks…
Good compromise between protection and deposit flexibility.
