Lincore® BU

Flux-Cored Self-Shielded (FCAW-S)

LINCORE® BU Flux-Cored Self-Shielded Wire designed for cable sheaves, crane wheels, drums and pulleys applications. (Build Up and Joining)

DETAILS

LINCOREĀ® BU provides a tough machinable deposit for build-up or final overlay ideal for rebuilding worn parts to near final dimensions before applying final hardfacing layers which are more wear resistant, can also be used as the final hardfacing layer for non-severe metal-to-metal wear applications with unlimited deposit layers.

Features

  • Provides a tough machinable deposit for build-up or final overlay
  • Delivers non-severe metal-to-metal wear with outstanding crack resistance
  • Ideal for rebuilding worn parts to near final dimensions before applying final hardfacing layers which are more wear resistant.
  • Can also be used as the final hardfacing layer for non-severe metal-to-metal wear applications

Typical Applications

  • Cable sheaves
  • Crane wheels
  • Drums and pulleys

Welding Positions

  • Flat/Horizontal
