Lincoln Electric ED037254 Lincore 55 Flux-Cored Wire, 0.045 Diameter, 10 lb Spool

Lincore 55 Flux-Cored Wire is designed to produce a deposit that can resist metal-to-metal rolling or sliding wear, as well as mild abrasion. The composition and properties of the deposit depend on the dilution, while the properties of a single layer deposit depend on the base metal and/or build-up material.

When using Lincore 55, it is important to ensure that cold parts are warmed to at least 25°C (75°F). For thicker parts or heavy sections, a higher preheat of 150 - 260°C (300 - 500°F) may be necessary. However, it is important to note that an interpass temperature between 150°C (300°F) and 200°C (400°F) will not significantly affect the hardness of Lincore 55.

This flux-cored wire is suitable for use on carbon steel, low alloy steel, and manganese steel. With proper preheat and interpass temperatures and procedures, it can be applied in unlimited layers to achieve the desired results.

In summary, Lincore 55 Flux-Cored Wire offers excellent resistance to metal-to-metal rolling or sliding wear and mild abrasion, making it a versatile option for various steel types and applications. By following the recommended preheat and interpass temperature guidelines, users can achieve optimal results with unlimited layering capabilities.
