WEARcore XD 65 is a gas shielded metal-cored wire with tungsten and vanadium added, made to resist high stress grinding abrasion with low impact and solid erosion at service temperatures up to 650 degrees C.
The wire leaves only silicate islands instead of a full slag layer, which shortens the cleaning time between passes, and its metal core gives an almost slag-free bead as from a solid wire. It is also used on boilers and pressure vessels under statutory inspection. Previously sold as SK A 45-G.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe16
- AWS classification: 8555 MF 10-GF-65-GT
- Shielding gas: M13
- Diameters: 1.6 mm
- Hardness of deposit: 63 HRC
Check how many layers you need to reach the target hardness, the first layer always mixes with the base material. 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.
