FCW R58
Cored wire - Hardfacing
Description & applications
• Tubular wire for gas shielded arc hardfacing
• Tough and hard martensitic deposit
APPLICATIONS
FCW R58 is used for hardfacing and preheat is required for multi-layer build-up work. Tough deposits with increasing hardness for touching up and repair of hot and cold working tooling. Can be heat treated by oil quenching and tempering.
Examples Plastic injection screws and moulds for polymers
