ED037270 - Lincoln Lincore 50 Hardfacing Wire 0.045 10lb Spool

Lincoln Electric Lincore 50 Hardfacing Wire

The Lincoln Electric Lincore 50 is a premium flux-cored hardfacing wire designed to extend the lifespan of industrial equipment subjected to harsh operating environments. Identified by SKU ED037270, this 0.045-inch diameter wire comes in a convenient 10 lb spool, making it ideal for both shop and field applications. It is engineered to produce an abrasion-resistant deposit that can also withstand moderate impact, striking a critical balance for parts that face dynamic wear conditions.

This wire is formulated for use on a wide variety of base metals, including carbon steel, low alloy steel, manganese steel, and stainless steel. This versatility allows maintenance teams to use a single product for diverse repair jobs, from building up worn crusher hammers to reinforcing digging buckets. The deposit is limited to four layers, ensuring optimal hardness and structural integrity without excessive buildup issues. It is particularly effective for surfaces that must maintain a sharp cutting edge while resisting the grinding action of rock, ore, clay, and sand.

Technically, Lincore 50 utilizes an alloy system designed to combat metal-to-earth wear. While some hardfacing wires are strictly for abrasion, Lincore 50's formulation allows it to absorb the shock of impact that often accompanies digging and crushing operations. It is an excellent choice for the mining, construction, and power generation industries where equipment downtime can be costly. The wire runs smoothly with good arc stability, helping operators achieve consistent, high-quality overlays.

Key Applications:

• Crusher rolls and hammers
• Dredge pump parts and screws
• Bucket lips and teeth
• Ore chutes and wear plates
