55FC-O .045 MIG Hardfacing 10 lb Spool Welding Wire Spool Blue Demon
55FC-O is a self-shielded, metal-core wire that deposits a premium martensitic alloy steel of H-12 tool steel composition. It has excellent resistance to adhesive (metal-tometal) wear. It also has good resistance to abrasion and impact, and maintains its hardness up to 1000°F. It is designed for use as an overlay on carbon and low alloy steels. Because of its high hardenability, proper preheat may be required for crack-free deposits, particularly on low alloy steels. 55FC-O is formulated to optimize performance on small 110/220V type wire welding machines.

58FC-G .045 Hardfacing Flux Core 10 Lb Spool MIG Welding Wire Spool Blue Demon
58FC-G is a metal-cored, economical hardfacing alloy designed to resist abrasion. This gas-shielded wire can be welded out of position. It is typically used to overlay carbon and low alloy steels, manganese steels, and stainless steels. The welded deposit weathers severe abrasion, moderate impact, and metal-to-metal wear. Hardfacing generally does not require any heat treatment. Preheat and post heat according to the base material where necessary.
