LINCORE BU-G 1/16 in Flux-Cored Welding Wire is a versatile build-up welding wire engineered to deliver reliable wear resistance and moderate impact toughness for a wide range of industrial repair and maintenance applications. Designed for unlimited layer deposition when proper preheat and interpass temperature controls are followed, LINCORE® BU-G produces durable weld deposits with Rockwell hardness values of 21–33 HRC in the as-welded condition and work-hardens up to 40–42 HRC under service conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for restoring component dimensions while maintaining toughness and resistance to metal-to-metal wear.
- Moderate Hardness Build-Up Deposits – ideal for dimensional restoration or use as a final overlay
- Work-Hardening Capability – increases hardness from 21–33 HRC as welded to approximately 40–42 HRC in service
- Metal-to-Metal Wear Resistance – provides dependable protection against abrasion with moderate impact loading
- Unlimited Layer Welding – supports multi-layer applications when proper preheat and interpass procedures are applied
Typical Applications
- Industrial rolls and shafts
- Pump components and shovel parts
- Pulverizer equipment
- Agricultural wear parts such as plows
