FCW FC
Tubular wire for self-shielded metal arc hardfacing
Description & applications
• Tubular wire for self-shielded metal arc hardfacing
• Chromium cast iron offering a good compromise in applications involving combined abrasion and impact
• Small diameter wires: flexibility of use with conventional medium-powered welding equipment
• The deposit contains a high proportion of hard primary chromium carbides in a tough austenitic matrix.
APPLICATIONS
FCW FC is used for hardfacing components undergoing wear by earth, sand and abrasives.
Examples
Crushers for soft materials, shredders, chemical and food processing industries.
