LINCORE® 55-G 0.045 in Flux-Cored Welding Wire is a high-performance hardfacing wire engineered to resist metal-to-metal wear and mild abrasion in demanding industrial environments. Designed for use on carbon steel and low-alloy steel substrates, this versatile welding wire supports unlimited layer buildup when proper preheat and interpass temperature procedures are followed. When applied using the Bulk Tungsten Carbide (BTC) process, LINCORE® 55-G delivers an even harder, more wear-resistant deposit—making it an excellent solution for extending component life and reducing maintenance downtime.
- Metal-to-Metal Wear Resistance – produces durable weld deposits that combat adhesive wear and mild abrasion
- Enhanced Hardness with BTC Process – achieves significantly harder overlays when combined with Bulk Tungsten Carbide
- Broad Material Compatibility – ideal for welding on carbon steels and low-alloy steels
-
Unlimited Layer Capability – supports multi-layer hardfacing with proper preheat and interpass control
