OVERVIEW

Restore and Rebuild with Precision

The Josef 1/16" Build-Up Hardfacing Wire is a specialized flux-cored consumable engineered for the dimensional restoration of worn industrial components. Packaged in a substantial 11.36kg (25lb) spool, this wire is formulated to deposit a tough, low-alloy steel layer that serves as an excellent foundation for subsequent hardfacing overlays or as a standalone solution for metal-to-metal wear applications.

Industrial machinery often suffers from dimensional loss due to friction and impact. This build-up wire addresses that challenge by providing a deposit that is crack-resistant and possesses high compressive strength. Unlike extremely hard abrasion-resistant wires, this alloy is designed to be machinable, allowing operators to return parts to their original specifications and tolerances before putting them back into service or applying a final wear-resistant cap.

Ideal for heavy equipment repair shops and maintenance departments, the Josef Build-Up wire ensures that the structural integrity of the base metal is maintained while providing a sound metallurgical bond. Its 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter allows for higher deposition rates, reducing downtime during critical repair operations. Whether you are rebuilding trunnions, tractor rollers, or crane wheels, this wire delivers the consistency and performance required for professional MRO tasks.

Key Applications

  • Rebuilding worn shafts and axles
  • Restoring dimensions on tractor rollers and idlers
  • Buffer layers for crusher mantles
  • Repairing crane wheels and mine car wheels

FAQ

It is used to restore the dimensions of worn parts and provide a tough buffer layer before applying harder, abrasion-resistant facings.

Yes, the deposit is designed to be machinable, allowing you to return parts to their original dimensions and tolerances.

The wire diameter is 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm).

Yes, it is suitable for metal-to-metal wear applications, but for high abrasion, a harder topcoat is recommended.

The spool weighs 11.36 kg, which is approximately 25 lbs.

This is a flux-cored wire. Please refer to the specific product label or datasheet to confirm if it is self-shielded (Open Arc) or requires a gas mix, as 'FCO' often implies Flux Cored Open-arc.

Hardfacing wires are often brittle and can crack if applied too thick. Build-up wire is tougher and provides a safe foundation (buffer) for the hard outer shell.
