Product description

Low-alloy cored wire for gas-free arc hardfacing
-Used for rail repair
-Low-alloy steel weld deposit for heavy multi-layer build-up work on carbon steel parts.

Product application instructions

FCW T-O is used for reconstituting or hardfacing parts subject to metal-to-metal wear and moderate abrasion. The deposited metal is machinable

Examples

Crane wheels, wagon wheels, guides, rollers, crane and tractor chain shoes, coupling shaft ends, undercoating before hardfacing on non- or low-alloy steels…

  • Buckets, teeth, blades, conveyor chains

  • Worms, blades, agricultural tools

  • Mining, quarrying and cement parts

  • Hardfacing on carbon and low-alloy steels

Why choose this cored wire?

1. Protection against severe wear

  • Designed to form a hard deposit, often based on chromium carbides or other hard elements, depending on the version.

  • Highly effective against :

    • abrasion (sand, rock, mud, etc.)

    • erosion (particle spray)

    • sometimes moderate shocks or adhesion

2. Gas-free – ideal for outdoor use or field maintenance

  • Self-protecting wire: no need for protective gas → perfect for :

    • on-site operations

    • windy, dirty or hard-to-reach environments

  • Can be used with a conventional MIG station equipped for flux-cored wire.
