WEARcore 715-O is a self-shielded cored wire that deposits a ferritic martensitic steel, made to resist metal to metal wear, corrosion and thermal fatigue cracking. The typical application is continuous casting rollers.
It needs no shielding gas, which makes work outdoors and in wind simpler, and it is meant for hardfacing surfaces exposed to abrasion. The wire goes into maintenance work, rebuilding dimensions and strengthening worn surfaces.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe7
- AWS classification: 8555 MF 5-GF-400-C
- Shielding: self-shielded, no shielding gas
- Diameters: 2.0 / 2.4 mm
- Hardness of deposit: 42 HRC
Remove the fatigued and hardened top layer before hardfacing, an overlay laid on worn material chips off. Work with fume extraction, self-shielded wires smoke far more than gas shielded ones. Check the polarity before you start, self-shielded wires often run differently from solid wires. Previously sold as SK 370-O.
