WEARcore Tool 58 is a gas shielded metal-cored wire for cold and hot work tool steels and for parts subject to abrasion and impact.
The wire leaves only silicate islands instead of a full slag layer, which shortens the cleaning time between passes, and its metal core gives you an almost slag-free bead as from a solid wire. Previously sold as SK 650-G.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe8

- Diameters: 1.2 / 1.6 mm
- Hardness of deposit: 58 HRC
Expect a network of shrinkage cracks in hard overlays, on working deposits this is normal, but it must not reach into the parent material. Keep the gas cover complete, without a full slag layer the pool is more sensitive to draughts. Check the feed roll pressure, a metal-cored wire is easier to crush than a solid one. Match the diameter to the material thickness and the welding position, thinner wires are easier to control out of position.
