Original Press Release:
Lincoln Electric® Introduces Lincore® 420HC-S
New metal-cored wire for caster roll rebuilding now available
Cleveland – Lincoln Electric® introduces the newest product in its Lincore® line of hardfacing and build-up wires. Lincore® 420HC-S from Lincoln Electric is a high carbon metal-cored wire that is most often used for caster roll rebuilding. The hardfacing metal-cored submerged arc welding (SAW) electrode may be used in flat, horizontal and circumferential welding positions. The Lincore hardfacing product line includes wires formulated for a number of arc welding processes, including: FCAW-S (flux-cored self-shielded), FCAW-G (flux-cored gas-shielded), GMAW-C (metal-cored) and SAW (submerged arc).
Lincore 420HC-S produces a high carbon, 420 stainless steel deposit. The product may be used where a higher hardness is required and is used on work rolls and backup rolls when water spray causes pitting on tool steel deposits.
To offer options for the welder depending upon the thickness of the weld, the product is available in the following wire diameters and package sizes:
- 3/32, 50 lb Coil
- 3/32, 600 lb Speed-Feed® Drum
- 1/8, 50 lb Coil
- 1/8, 600 lb Speed-Feed® Drum
The 50 lb coil is just light enough for one person to lift and install on a wire feeder reel. The Speed-Feed® Drum offers a larger, bulk package for high production environments. More wire in the package means fewer changeovers and less loss of time for the welder.
