Flux-Cored Self-Shielded (FCAW-S)

Iron-based chromium carbide alloys designed for applications subject to abrasion accompanied by impact from rock, ore, clay, sand or cement.

This product could be discontinued. Please contact Customer Service.

DETAILS

Iron-based chromium carbide alloys designed for applications subject to abrasion accompanied by impact from rock, ore, clay, sand or cement, including digging or crusher surfaces or parts that must maintain sharp cutting edges. These products can be applied in multiple layers and may cross check crack. Metal-to-Earth hardfacing products can be used on carbon, low alloy, manganese, stainless and cast iron parts.

Features

  • Can be used on low carbon, medium carbon, low alloy, manganese and stainless steels
  • Limited to 4 layers
  • Delivers an abrasion resistant deposit, even under conditions of moderate impact
  • Larger wire diameter sizes may be used for the submerged arc process

Typical Applications

  • Auger, Bar, Blade, Bucket, Bulldozer, Coal Mining
  • Concrete, Crush, Cut/Teeth, Drag, Dredge, Hammer/Crush
  • Hoist, Kiln, Mine Car/Wheel, Mix, Pipe Bend, Pipeline, Plate
  • Power Generation, Pulverize, Pump, Roll/Hammer, Scrape/Cut, Screen
  • Shovel, Shred/Hammer, Slag, Tamper, Teeth, Tractor

Welding Positions

  • Flat/Horizontal
