Lincore® 57-G

Metal-Cored (GMAW-C)

LINCORE® 57-G Gas Metal-Cored Wire designed to meet the weldability on dragline bucket lips augers, sugar cane harvesters, tire shredders and tillage tools application (Metal to Metal or Metal to Earth Abrasion)

DETAILS

LINCORE® 57-G provides quality resistance and moderate impact resistance when tempered with proper preheat and interpass temperature, exceeds typical application requirements in regeneration, repairs in mining and agricultural segments.

Features

  • Designed to meet the weld ability and mechanical property needs of mining equipment suppliers and rebuilders
  • Maintain resistance to check cracking with proper preheat and interpass temperature
  • The hard martensitic matrix provides good metal-to-metal wear resistance and moderate impact resistance when tempered
  • Can be used with the tungsten carbide process for additional abrasion resistance and exceptional wear life

Typical Applications

  • Dragline Bucket Lips
  • Augers
  • Sugar Cane Harvesters
  • Tire Shredders
  • Agricultural Tools

Welding Positions

  • All, except overhead

Shielding Gas

  • 75-90% Ar / Balance CO2 98% Ar / 2% O2
