TECHNOCORE WIRE

Technocore WC-Ni Composite Wire

Metal-cored wire with spherical cast tungsten carbide (Spherotene®) in a Nickel-based matrix for optimum abrasion resistance in severe environmental conditions. 

  • The deposit provides very good resistance to wear
  • The alloy system offers re-facing capability in all welding positions including vertical
  • Re-application on worn tools can easily be done
  • The low heat input helps reduce tungsten carbide particle dilution
