Why choose this cored wire?
-
Very good abrasion resistance + moderate impact
➤ Perfect for environments where wear is caused by hard particles but with regular (not extreme) mechanical stress. -
High deposit hardness
➤ Typical hardness of 55 to 60 HRC, offering good longevity even in severe abrasive environments. -
Structure with chromium carbides
➤ The deposit is hard, with a martensitic matrix enriched with carbides, ideal for wear parts. -
Good weldability
➤ Stable arc, low spatter, even appearance, suitable for workshop or on-site applications. -
Ideal for single or multi-pass fine
➤ Can be used to reinforce surfaces exposed to wear, while maintaining a good surface finish.
