WEARcore XD 65-O is a self-shielded flux-cored wire made to resist high stress grinding abrasion with low impact and solid particle erosion at service temperatures up to 650 °C.
You weld without a cylinder, the pool is shielded by the decomposition of the core ingredients, so the wire suits outdoor work, wind included. It also goes on boilers and pressure vessels under technical inspection and on surfaces working under abrasion.
- Classification EN ISO: 14700 T Fe16
- AWS classification: 8555 MF 10-GF-65-GT
- Shielding: self-shielded, no shielding gas
- Diameters: 1.6 / 2.4 / 2.8 mm
- Hardness of deposit: 65 HRC
Check how many layers you need to reach the target hardness, the first layer always mixes with the base material. Check the polarity before you start, self-shielded wires often run differently from solid wires. Keep the stick-out recommended for self-shielded wires, too short a one spoils the pool shielding and causes porosity. Previously sold as SK A45-O.
