SelectWear NiBWC

Hardsurfacing / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded


Features

  • Tungsten carbide particles in a nickel-silicon-boron matrix
  • The nickel-silicon-boron matrix provides a high toughness matrix system for the tungsten carbide particles
  • Provides excellent abrasion resistance along with good corrosion resistance and moderate impact resistance
  • Can be welded at very low heat inputs, preserving the integrety of the tungsten carbide particles
  • Hot wear hardness up to 900f
