FCW VMoLC
Metal-cored hardfacing wire for gas shielded arc welding
Description & applications
• Metal-cored hardfacing wire for gas shielded arc welding
• Crack-free rebuilding of forge tooling
• Resists thermal fatigue and high pressure
• Deposit can be polished
APPLICATIONS
FCW VMoLC is specially designed for repair of forging dies. The choice is a compromise between optimum hardness and the need to resist fatigue, abrasion and cracking.
Examples
Moulds for moulded glass, pressure casting of light alloys and impact forging tolls etc.
