Weldclass Wire H/Facing CX-1.2mm 4.5kg - WC-03766

Features:

Long-Life hardfacing 'MIG' wire for ground-engaging equipment. Very high resistance to abrasion with up to 3-4 times better wear life vs basic hardfacing wires*... thanks to special carbide additives not found in other wires.
Recommended for metal-to-earth applications where wear is mostly caused by abrasion, with low-to-medium impact; points, tynes, buckets, teeth, screws, augers, grousers, etc.

Technical Data:

• High-performance, offering exceptional wear life
• Very high abrasion resistance, offering a wear multiple of ~600% vs mild steel
• Light-to-medium impact resistance
• Gasless flux-cored wire
• VERY IMPORTANT: Surface to be hard faced must be clean and free of rust, scale, grease, moisture & other contamination.
  
  • If existing/old hardfacing deposits are loose they should be removed. (Hammer test can confirm bond strength of existing deposits, a "ping" indicates good bond and a "clack" indicates a separation layer which must be ground off).
  • Buffer Layer / Pre-Heat: CX-1800 will typically weld easily to most common surfaces WITHOUT the need for buffer layer or pre-heat, such as mild & high carbon steel, cast steel, etc
  • If applying to hard-to-weld steels, or hard-to-weld existing deposits, use buffer layer of 309 or 312 wire or electrodes. Whilst not essential, pre-heat of 150-350c may be beneficial.
  • If applying to high-manganese (non-magnetic) steel, buffer of specialist high-Mn/Cr wire should be used.
