20 WEAR-O-MATIC®
Semiautomatic Cored Wires
Wear-O-Matic cored wires for semiautomatic
application are fabricated tubular wire internally stabilized for
good arc characteristics without the
use of shielding gas or submerged arc granular flux. Each of the grades
available has a carefully balanced alloy
content to produce specific properties in the deposited weld metal,
which provide the required wear resistance
for which each grade is intended. Manufacturing
processes and quality control measures assure uniform alloy distribution throughout
the tubular wire
to maintain constant wear-resistant properties throughout the deposit. Wear-O-Matic
wires are manufactured
in the 7/64” (2.8 mm) diameter for smooth, even feeding and constant current
pick-up at the contact
tip. The following
pages list the Wear-O-Matic wires for open arc application with descriptive information
to aid in the
selection of alloys for economical hardsurfacing.
