58FC-G Spools Flux Core Gas Shielded Hardfacing Welding Wire Blue Demon
58FC-G is a metal-cored, economical
hardfacing alloy designed to resist abrasion.
This gas-shielded wire can be welded out of
position. It is typically used to overlay carbon
and low alloy steels, manganese steels, and
stainless steels. The welded deposit weathers
severe abrasion, moderate impact, and
metal-to-metal wear. Hardfacing generally
does not require any heat treatment. Preheat
and post heat according to the base material
where necessary.
Typical Applications
• Dredge parts
• Earth moving equipment
• Farm equipment
• Muller tires
• Extruder worms
• conveyors
