Flux-cored wire withstands 1,200 degrees F while maintaining hardness

New Weld Mold® 5551 flux-cored wire withstands extreme heat conditions for extreme welding applications by maintaining superior hardness retention in temperatures as high as 1,200 degrees F. According to the company, testing proves that the hardness capabilities of the wire continue to improve as the temperature increases.

The wire is resistant to heat checking in environments where coolants are used, abrasion-resistant, and tolerant of compressive loads. In addition, with a 30 percent higher deposition rating than typical flux-cored wire, it offers high weldability for general welding applications, the company reports.
