Metco 8247 is an iron-based composite wire with titanium carbide hardphase designed for application using GMAW. It creates crack-free deposits that are more abrasion resistant than competitor products and highly impact resistant. Deposits apply cleanly with little spatter, thereby reducing post-deposit machining requirements. Use Metco 8247 for hard banding, ground engaging tools in mining and agriculture, as well as oil and gas downhole tools.
