FCW 204
Special cored wire for GMAW
Description & applications
• Special cored wire for GMAW
• The weld metal is a Cu - Al bronze
• Sound, pore free deposits on ferrous and non-ferrous base materials
• The deposit has little tendency to cracking
• Good corrosion resistance.
APPLICATIONS
Building up of aluminium bronze
This alloy is particularly noted for its self-lubricating qualities in applications involving metal-to-metal rubbing under heavy loads.
Examples
Gear teeth, pump shafts, stripper columns etc.
