Product application instructions

APPLICATIONS

FCW K450 is used for the hardfacing and rebuilding of parts subjected to the simultaneous action of compressive stresses and severe impacts.

Examples

  • Buckets

  • Excavation teeth

  • Farming tools

  • Shredders

  • Parts for handling or transporting materials

Welding positions: The FCW K450 can be welded both flat and in position. Adapt transfer mode and welding parameters as for solid wire.

Why choose this cored wire?

  • Very good abrasion/impact compromise
    ➤ Ideal for mixed applications: parts subject to combined wear (friction + impact).

  • Good toughness of deposited metal
    ➤ Good resistance to cracking and deformation, even on stressed parts.

  • Medium hardness: approx. 45-50 HRC
    ➤ Hard enough for abrasion, but tough enough to take a beating.

  • Easy to use
    ➤ Stable arc, low spatter, good bead appearance, uniform deposit.

  • Suitable for multi-pass surfacing
    ➤ Can be used in multiple layers without risk of cracking.
