SelectWear BU-FCG
Hardsurfacing / Gas Shielded
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
