Long-Life hardfacing ‘MIG’ wire for ground-engaging equipment. Very high resistance to abrasion with up to 3-4 times better wear life vs basic hardfacing wires, thanks to special carbide additives not found in other wires. Recommended for metal-to-earth applications where wear is mostly caused by abrasion, with low-to-medium impact; points, tynes, buckets, teeth, screws, augers, grousers, etc. Gasless wire for easy application. High-performance, offering exceptional wear life.

| Long-Life hardfacing ‘MIG’ wire for ground-engaging equipment. |
| Very high resistance to abrasion with up to 3-4 times better wear life vs basic hardfacing wires, thanks to special carbide additives not found in other wires. |
| Recommended for metal-to-earth applications where wear is mostly caused by abrasion, with low-to-medium impact; points, tynes, buckets, teeth, screws, augers, grousers, etc. Gasless wire for easy application. |
| Requires minimum 140 amps, suitable for use with 200A-250A MIG welders. |
| High-performance, offering exceptional wear life. |
| Very high abrasion resistance, offering a wear multiple of ~600% vs mild steel. |
| Typical hardness 59-61 HRc (max hardness achieved with 2 layers). |
| Ideal for ground-engaging agricultural and earthmoving tools subject to high abrasion and low-to-moderate impact. |
| Not recommended for equipment that will be submerged in salt-water. |
| Light-to-medium impact resistance. |
| Gasless flux-cored wire. |
| Surface Preparation: Very Important: Surface to be hard faced must be clean and free of rust, scale, grease, moisture & other contamination. |
| If existing/old hardfacing deposits are loose they should be removed. (Hammer test can confirm bond strength of existing deposits, a “ping” indicates good bond and a “clack” indicates a separation layer which must be ground off). |
| Buffer Layer / Pre-Heat: CX-1800 will typically weld easily to most common surfaces WITHOUT the need for buffer layer or pre-heat, such as mild & high carbon steel, cast steel, etc. |
| If applying to hard-to-weld steels, or hard-to-weld existing deposits, use buffer layer of 309 or 312 wire or electrodes. Whilst not essential, pre-heat of 150-350c may be beneficial. |
| If applying to high-manganese (non-magnetic) steel, buffer of specialist high-Mn/Cr wire should be used. |
| Finish: Surface normally relief-checks (forms fine micro cracks) after welding Weld deposit is not machine-able but grind-able. |
