58FC-G Spools Flux Core Gas Shielded Hardfacing Welding Wire Blue Demon

58FC-G is a metal-cored, economical hardfacing alloy designed to resist abrasion. This gas-shielded wire can be welded out of position. It is typically used to overlay carbon and low alloy steels, manganese steels, and stainless steels. The welded deposit weathers severe abrasion, moderate impact, and metal-to-metal wear. Hardfacing generally does not require any heat treatment. Preheat and post heat according to the base material where necessary.

Typical Applications • Dredge parts • Earth moving equipment • Farm equipment • Muller tires • Extruder worms • conveyors
