Description
The Hardface 55-G 1.2mm Core Wire 15kg is a high-performance flux-cored wire designed for applications that require outstanding resistance to abrasion with moderate impact. This wire produces a martensitic weld deposit with excellent hardness, ideal for extending the life of components exposed to high wear.
Because of its alloyed composition, Hardface 55-G Core Wire delivers superior protection in industries like mining, construction, and material handling. It’s well-suited for hardfacing equipment such as loader buckets, scraper blades, screw conveyors, mixer parts, and crusher components. The 1.2mm wire diameter allows for precise control, while the 15kg spool provides enough material for large repairs or continuous production work.
Welders appreciate this wire’s smooth arc characteristics and low spatter. It runs efficiently on both automated and semi-automatic MIG welding systems using DC+ polarity. Its fast freezing slag and self-shielding ability help reduce downtime and clean-up. You can apply it in multiple layers for enhanced durability on mild or low-alloy steel substrates.
To ensure the best results, preheat thicker sections and allow slow cooling to prevent cracking. This wire does not require a shielding gas, making it suitable for outdoor use or remote locations. Its high deposition rate and minimal slag loss improve productivity in demanding environments.
If you need a wire that offers both abrasion resistance and ease of use, Hardface 55-G Core Wire is a reliable choice. For more hardfacing consumables, visit our full core wire collection.
