OVERVIEW

Extend Equipment Life with Techniweld Hardfacing Wire

Stop replacing expensive parts prematurely and start rebuilding them with the Techniweld 58FC-G Gas Shielded Hardfacing Wire. This 10lb spool of .035" wire is engineered for professional welders and fabricators who deal with heavy equipment repair. Whether you are reinforcing an excavator bucket, resurfacing a plow blade, or repairing a screw conveyor, this wire provides the armor your equipment needs to withstand the harshest abrasive environments. The "HF" in the name stands for Hard Facing, and this wire delivers exactly that—a tough, protective shell that resists grinding wear from soil, rock, and aggregate.

Superior Wear Resistance
The 58FC-G deposit creates a surface with a hardness of approximately 58 Rockwell C. This level of hardness is specifically targeted to combat sliding abrasion. Because it is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire, you get the best of both worlds: the fast deposition rates of flux core and the clean, smooth bead appearance provided by shielding gas. The slag system is designed to be easily removable, revealing a smooth bead that requires minimal post-weld cleanup. Note that due to its extreme hardness, the weld deposit cannot be machined with standard cutting tools and must be finished by grinding if a specific profile is required.

Application Versatility
The .035" diameter is particularly useful for general shop repairs where a massive 1/16" wire might be too hot or difficult to control on smaller parts. It runs on standard MIG equipment capable of flux-cored welding with gas. It is an excellent choice for agricultural implements, mining chutes, cement mixer blades, and shredder hammers. By maintaining a stock of Techniweld 58FC-G, you ensure that you can quickly address wear patterns before they compromise the structural integrity of your expensive machinery.

Recommended Settings & Tips:

  • Use DCEP (Reverse Polarity).
  • Clean the base metal of oil, grease, and heavy rust before welding.
  • Preheat high-carbon steels to prevent underbead cracking.
  • Avoid excessive layer buildup; use a buffer layer for deep repairs.

FAQ

This wire requires external shielding gas. You can use either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. The mixed gas typically provides a smoother arc and less spatter.

No, the deposit from the 58FC-G wire is extremely hard (approx. 58 HRC) and cannot be machined with standard tools. It must be finished by grinding.

It is generally recommended to apply no more than 2 to 3 layers. Applying too many layers of hardfacing can lead to cracking and spalling due to the high internal stresses. If you need to build up a dimension significantly, use a buffer layer of mild steel or low-hydrogen wire first.

The typical hardness is between 55 and 60 HRC (Rockwell C), depending on the base metal dilution, cooling rate, and number of layers applied.

This wire is designed to run on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity.

Yes, as a .035" diameter flux-cored wire, it can be used in all positions, including vertical-up, provided the correct voltage and wire feed speed settings are used.

Knurled drive rolls are recommended for flux-cored wires to prevent the wire from being crushed and to ensure consistent feeding, although .035" size can sometimes run on V-groove rolls if tension is carefully adjusted.
