FCW TIC O
Tubular hardsurfacing wire for open arc welding
Description & applications
• Tubular hardsurfacing wire for open arc welding
• High Chromium cast iron for hardfacing components subject to severe abrasion and heavy impact
• The weld deposit contains finely dispersed Titanium Carbide particles in a high chromium martensitic matrix
APPLICATIONS
FCW TIC O is designed for excellent resistance to heavy impact , gouging and grinding abrasion. Some relief checking is normal but can be minimised by use of suitable preheat.
Examples
Augers, Scraper blades, mixer tyres, brick dies, earthmoving and crushing equipment.
