WEARcore Hydrocav is a gas-shielded metal-cored wire suited to surfacing parts where high resistance to cavitation, corrosion, pressure and impact is required.
The metal core combines the deposition rate of a cored wire with an almost slag-free bead, as you get from a solid wire, and it serves for cladding carbon steel surfaces on crusher parts, conveyors and mining machinery. Previously sold as UTP Hydrocav.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Z Fe9

- Diameters: 1.2 mm
- Hardness of deposit: 220 HB
Lay the overlay in overlapping beads and watch the part temperature, an overheated component will distort and crack where the layers meet. Check the feed roll pressure, a metal-cored wire is easier to crush than a solid one. Set the parameters for spray arc, in the short arc range a metal-cored wire loses its deposition advantage.
