Description & applications

· Flux cored nickel base wire for gas shielded metal arc welding

· Latest generation basic slag quality guarantees optimum metallurgical quality and attractive welder appeal

· Together with enhanced productivity, FCW 4648 offers many other advantages compared to solid wires : enhanced wetting properties, increased resistance to cracking, better bead aspect and shape, use of classical M21 gas mixtures

· Maximum performances in the horizontal and downhand positions

APPLICATIONS

· FCW 4648 is suitable for welding and cladding nickel-based alloys such as alloy 600 or similar materials.

· It is also used for dissimilar welding of most nickel-based alloys to each other, to alloyed steels, or to stainless steels.

· It is a first choice consumable for heterogeneous weldments between creep-resisting ferritic steels and austenitic steels for use at high temperatures. If necessary, stress relief may be carried out.

· Repair welding on “hard-to-weld” steels
