WEARcore 741 metal-cored wire

Formerly: SK 741-G. The manufacturer changed the catalogue name (voestalpine Böhler Welding catalogue 2025): WEARcore 741 metal-cored wire is the same product as SK 741-G. Before ordering, confirm the diameter, packaging and current approvals in the product datasheet.

What WEARcore 741 metal-cored wire is used for

WEARcore 741 is a gas shielded metal-cored wire made to resist metal to metal wear, corrosion and thermal fatigue fire cracking, for surfacing continuous casting rollers of very small diameters.

The metal core combines the deposition rate of a cored wire with an almost slag-free bead, as you get from a solid wire. It serves for cladding carbon steel surfaces and resists corrosion and thermal fatigue on the surface. Previously sold as SK 741-G.

  • Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe7
  • AWS classification: 8555 MF 5-GF-40-C
  • Shielding gas: M13
  • Diameters: 0.5 / 0.6 / 0.8 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2.4 / 5.5 mm
  • Hardness of deposit: 40 HRC

Check how many layers you need to reach the target hardness, the first layer always mixes with the base material. Set the parameters for spray arc, in the short arc range a metal-cored wire loses its deposition advantage. Keep the gas cover complete, without a full slag layer the pool is more sensitive to draughts.
