FCW AR

Cored Wire - Hardfacing

Description & applications

• Tubular wire for semi-automatic gas shielded hardfacing

• Deposition rate increased by up to 20% when compared to solid wire

• Excellent wear resistance in cold cutting operations

• High speed steel deposit that maintains its hardness up to 600°C

APPLICATIONS

FCW AR is used for the production or repair of high speed steel tooling and the rebuilding of cutting edges on carbon or low-alloy steel tooling.

Examples Rebuilding of parts subjected to metal-metal wear with no heavy impact, such as machining tools, cold shearing blades, milling cutters, knives, wire guides etc.
