Description
WCrC is a cored wire used for hardfacing components subject to abrasive wear and erosion at elevated temperatures up to 500 deg. C. It has adequate impact resistance and high hardness. The weld metal is alloyed with tungsten to provide high temperature hardness and the microstructure is ferritic-martensitic. The low carbon version of this alloy (C 0.2%) is recommended to build up heavy parts before capping with WCrC. Applications include blast furnace bells, chutes, lifting tongs, track pads, cutting edges, conveyor chutes, grizzly bars.
