Key Benefits
- Extreme Abrasion Resistance: 60% FTC particles maintain hardness during welding for unmatched wear protection
- Gasless Operation: Eliminates shielding gas requirements for on-site convenience
- High-Temp Stability: Reliable performance in applications up to 250¡ãC
- Easy Application: Fine carbide distribution ensures uniform weld bead integrity
- Cost-Effective: Reduces equipment downtime through extended component lifespan
Applications
Ideal for low-impact crushing components, mining equipment, earthmoving tools (bucket lips, rippers), agricultural machinery, pump impellers, slurry pipework, and wear plate cladding. Perfect for mobile or stationary industrial applications requiring superior wear resistance.
Performance Advantage
Unlike standard hardfacing wires, ArcoCrush FE60-SS preserves carbide particle integrity through minimal heat input, ensuring optimal hardness retention. Its martensitic steel matrix provides excellent bonding strength while allowing controlled relief checking during post-weld cooling.
Quality Assurance
Manufactured to AS/NZS 2576-2005 standards, equivalent to Talarc Postalloy 299-SPL and Lincoln STAINCARB W-O. Each spool undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance and particle distribution.
FAQ
Q: Can this wire be machined after welding?
A: No, the weld deposit is non-machinable due to high carbide content.
Q: What causes dark surface appearance during welding?
A: Darkening indicates overheating; reduce amperage to preserve carbide integrity.
Q: Is preheating required?
A: Consult technical data sheet for base material-specific preheating recommendations.
