SuperShield CRC Gasless Hardfacing MIG Wire – 1.6mm
Self-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy-Duty Wear & Abrasion Resistance
The SuperShield CRC Gasless Hardfacing MIG Wire (1.6mm) is a self-shielded, flux-cored welding wire engineered for surfacing and rebuilding components exposed to severe abrasion, impact, and metal-to-metal wear. Formulated with a chromium-carbide (CRC) rich alloy deposit, this wire delivers a hard, wear-resistant overlay ideal for extending the service life of high-wear equipment in mining, construction, agriculture, and heavy industrial applications.
Because it's a gasless (self-shielded) wire, it requires no external shielding gas — making it perfect for outdoor use, field repairs, and job sites where wind or accessibility make gas shielding impractical.
Key Features
- Self-Shielded / Gasless – no shielding gas required, ideal for outdoor and windy site conditions
- 1.6mm Diameter – suited for medium-to-heavy duty hardfacing applications on standard MIG welders
- Chromium Carbide (CRC) Alloy Deposit – produces a hard, abrasion-resistant weld overlay
- High Deposit Hardness – typically in the range of 55–62 HRC (as-deposited, alloy and layer dependent), resisting wear from sliding abrasion, gouging, and impact
- Excellent Buildup & Rebuild Capability – restores worn dimensions on shovels, buckets, blades, and crusher parts before hardfacing
- Good Bead Wetting & Low Spatter – for a cleaner, more consistent overlay pass
- Multi-Pass Capability – deposits can typically be applied in multiple layers depending on service requirements
Common Applications
- Excavator buckets, teeth, and cutting edges
- Dozer blades and ripper tips
- Crusher hammers, jaws, and liners
- Auger flighting and dredge components
- Agricultural tillage tools (plough points, disc blades)
- Chutes, hoppers, and conveyor screws subject to sliding abrasion
- Any carbon or low-alloy steel component requiring a hardfaced wear surface
Recommended Base Materials
Mild steel, low-alloy steel, and medium-carbon steel components (pre-heat may be recommended for higher carbon or hardened base metals — refer to manufacturer welding procedure).
