Postalloy® DuraHard™ PS156Nb-FCO
Postalloy® DuraHard™ PS156Nb-FCO is a large diameter, non-cracking martensitic tool steel type hardfacing alloy with numerous tightly packed carbides for excellent abrasion resistance under high impact. Deposits are smooth and free of any slag. One layer deposits exhibit wear characteristics that you would expect from chromium carbide hardfacing products. An excellent choice for applications requiring crack-free deposits with good wear characteristics. Use on carbon and low alloy steels. Large diameter wire is generally more alloy rich than smaller diameter wire.
