Impact Resistant Flux-Cored Wires – Rebuilding Under Shock and Impact
Impact resistant flux-cored wires are designed for rebuilding and hardfacing components subjected to repeated impact, shock loads and combined impact–abrasion. Their deposits are tough and crack-resistant, with controlled hard phases that provide wear protection without becoming brittle.
They are used both as a final surface where impact is dominant, and as an intermediate layer beneath higher-hardness alloys in multi-layer systems.
Typical Applications
• Repairing crusher hammers, impact plates and housing areas
• Rebuilding drag chain links, pins, shoes and sprockets
• Surfacing heavy drop zones, transfer points and bunkers
• Buffer layers under carbide-rich or extreme abrasion wires
Key Features
• High toughness and resistance to impact-induced cracking
• Good performance in mixed impact + abrasion conditions
• Suitable for multi-layer build-ups and structural repairs
• Many grades can be machined or finish-ground after welding
