Product Catalog
Executive MAX-WEAR is a flux-cored hard surfacing wire that deposits a chrome carbide alloy designed to provide excellent abrasion resistance and withstand moderate impact. It can outlast competitive hard surfacing wires due to its unique microstructure of primary chrome carbides in a eutectic matrix. Executive MAX-WEAR can be used on mild steel, low alloy steel or manganese steel, with or without shielding gas. The weld deposit is designed to check crack which provides some measure of stress relief and is not detrimental to its wear properties.
Application and Features
Executive MAX-WEAR can be used on severe abrasion applications such as, augers, cone crushers, catalyst piping, tool joints, crusher rolls, bucket teeth and blades, dragline chains, grizzlies, ore chutes, pug mills, paddles and other applications where excellent abrasion and moderate impact resistances are required.
