SelectWear BU-FCO

Hardsurfacing / Self Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Deposits a low alloy steel with good compressive strength designed as either an underlay for further hardfacing, or as the final layer for low stress metal-to-metal wear applications
  • To be used on carbon and low alloy steels
  • Notable for good resistance to compressive loads
  • Unlimited layers can be deposited with proper welding procedure
  • Applications include: Rolls, shafts, wheels (mine cars, cranes, etc.), drums, pulleys, steel hammers, gear teeth, shovel parts
