Vancar®-O is a tubular open arc wire which results in a deposit containing vanadium and tungsten carbide. Vancar can be used in hot wear applications up to 9000F (4800C). Deposits are not machinable and cannot be flame cut.
Features
The wear resistance of vanadium carbide is greater than that of chromium carbide but less than that of tungsten carbide.
An advantage of vanadium carbide particles is that they dissolve during the welding operation and then reform in the deposit, providing an even distribution.
Applications
Typical applications include:
• Ripper shanks & teeth
• Dry cement pump screws
• Shredding hammers
• Shovel Buckets & teeth
• Ammonia injectors
• Debarking hammers
• Stabilizers
• Dozer end bits
• Tiller tines
• Auger bits
• Cultivator chisels
• Mill hammers
• Pug mill knives
Caution
Always use in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
