SelectWear 57GW-MCG
Hardsurfacing / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded
Features
- Deposits an iron based, martensitic alloy that can be used as a matrix for tungsten carbide particles that are dropped into its weld puddle
- The deposit is ductile enough so that the tungsten carbide particles are less likely to be pulled out in service
- Can be deposited in multiple layers
- Applications include: Debarking knives, agricultural tillage, chisel plows, dredge components, earthmoving bucket lips, extruder screws, recycling shredder knives
