Tungsten Carbide Hardfacing weld wire

FUSION W

FUSION W is a Flux cored hardsurfacing wire containing 50-60% cast tungsten carbide suspended in a nickel alloy matrix. It has a combination of toughness and wear resistance, due to the heterogeneous weld metal composed of tungsten carbides distributed in a hard and very tough matrix. Unlike many others, this welding wire has exceptional wetting characteristics. It performs best in applications that endure extreme abrasion combined with or without corrosion.
