The greater hardness of High Chrome Flux Cored Wire is associated with the decreasing chromium carbide grain size reduces wear from abrasion considerably. The harder “hardmetal” counters abrasion with a greater resistance.
Wear progresses significantly slower, as the hardfacing overlayer made by Flux Cored Chromium Welding Wire between the fine grain hardfacing crystallites is exceptionally thin, making it harder to wash out. Due to this structural attribute, only very small hardfacing particles are torn out of the structural bond. The spherical shape represents a further form of protection, which is further stabilized by the small grain size; small particles have to expend a great deal more energy to divide and become smaller than coarse ones.
HP Welding manufactures an extensive range of Hard Surface Welding Wire and metal cored hardfacing consumables. We offer welding wires for low, medium and high alloy hardfacing, which provide the ultimate protec…
