hardfacing wire

admin

i'm looking for a hardfacing wire that will hold up. i'v tried arctech,ronamatic,perfect pass. also i do more vertical welds with it. the flux cored wires seem to run better but not lasting. i'm hardfacing compaction wheels. they are used mostly in rock,sand,clay ect.  anybody have good wire?

Reply:I've used Lincore 55 on those and got good results, good being a relative factor. Stoody 36 is a decent rod choice also....
