Description
The Hardface 60-O 1.2mm Open Arc 15kg is a specialized flux-cored wire designed for open arc welding applications where high abrasion resistance and moderate impact protection are essential. This wire produces a martensitic weld deposit that significantly extends the service life of equipment exposed to tough wear conditions.
Ideal for industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction, this wire rebuilds and protects loader buckets, crusher parts, conveyor screws, mixer blades, and other critical components. The 1.2mm diameter offers excellent weld bead control and arc stability, while the 15kg spool ensures enough wire for large-scale repairs or continuous welding work.
Welders benefit from the wire’s smooth arc, low spatter, and easy slag removal, which speeds up the welding process and reduces cleanup time. It runs effectively on DC+ polarity with open arc welding setups, making it versatile for both manual and semi-automatic applications.
For thicker or high-carbon steels, preheat before welding and apply slow cooling afterward to prevent cracking. The wire’s composition allows for multi-layer hardfacing, enabling users to build up thick, wear-resistant overlays tailored to specific needs.
Thanks to its abrasion and moderate impact resistance, the Hardface 60-O Open Arc Wire lowers maintenance costs and extends equipment uptime. Additionally, its robust formulation withstands harsh operating environments.
