FCW L O
Cored wire for self-shielded metal arc hardfacing
Description & applications
• Tubular wire for self-shielded metal arc hardfacing
• Martensitic weld metal with good abrasion and impact resistance
• Self-tempering deposit for hardfacing
• Especially appliable in 2-3 layers for wear resistance
APPLICATIONS
FCW L O is used when good resistance to abrasion and impact in dry or wet environments is required.
Examples Bucket teeth, lips and undersides, cutting edges, steel mill rolls, cable drums, sand dredge equipment, dragline buckets, conveyor chutes, grizzly bars..
