ED031123 - Lincoln Lincore 50 .045 Hardfacing Flux-Core Wire 25lb Spool

Restore and Protect Your Equipment with Lincoln Lincore 50

For industrial professionals in construction, mining, and heavy fabrication, equipment downtime due to wear and tear is a costly challenge. The Lincoln Electric Lincore 50 .045" Hardfacing Wire is engineered to extend the service life of your machinery by providing a durable, abrasion-resistant surface. This 25 lb spool is designed for the FCAW-S (Self-Shielded Flux-Cored Arc Welding) process, making it an excellent choice for field repairs where hauling gas cylinders is impractical or impossible.

The Lincore 50 is specifically formulated to deliver a deposit that resists severe abrasion while maintaining the ability to withstand moderate impact. With a Rockwell Hardness range of 34-56 HRC, this wire creates a tough protective layer on parts subjected to grinding, scraping, and sliding wear. It is versatile enough to be used on a wide variety of base materials, including low and medium carbon steels, low alloy steels, manganese steels, and even stainless steels. Whether you are building up worn bucket teeth, reinforcing dozer blades, or repairing railcar components, Lincore 50 provides the reliability you expect from Lincoln Electric.

One of the key benefits of this wire is its ease of use in open environments. Because it is self-shielded, you can perform high-quality hardfacing outdoors without worrying about wind blowing away your shielding gas. However, operators should note that this wire is limited to a deposit of four layers to ensure structural integrity and prevent cracking. When your heavy equipment takes a beating, trust Josef Gas to supply the high-performance consumables you need to get back to work. We stock the Lincore 50 to ensure you have access to top-tier maintenance solutions for your most demanding projects.
