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.
