Electrode Hardness General
Name Rockwell C Description

Build-Up

Lincore®BU 85-95 RbFor rebuilding worn parts to near final size before applying final hardfacing layer(s), which
is more wear resistant. Use on carbon, low alloy steels.
Lincore®BU-G 20-35 RcGas-shielded cored wire for build-up of mild steel and low alloy steel parts to bring them to
30-42(1)Rcfinal dimensions, or for metal-to-metal wear.
Lincore®33 28-34 RcFor build-up prior to hardfacing. Use on carbon and low alloy steels. Can be used under 802,
803, 880M flux.

Metal-To-Metal Wear

Lincore®40-O 40-45(1)RcBridges the hardness gap between Lincore®33 and Lincore®55.
Lincore®55 56-62(1)RcHardfacing overlay to resist rolling, sliding, and metal-to-metal wear. For carbon, low alloy,
and manganese steels. Can be used under 802, 803, 880M flux.
Lincore®55-G 48-60 RcGas-shielded cored wire. Martensitic low alloy steel deposit for resistance to metal-to-metal
wear. Despite the high hardness, crack-free deposits can be obtained with proper preheat,
interpass temperature control, and post-weld cooling.
Lincore®T&D 48-65 RcFor rebuilding tools and dies and for putting tool steel surface on carbon and low alloy steels.

Severe Impact

Lincore®40-50(1)RcSelf-shielded, cored wire. High alloy austenitic manganese composition for resistance to
Frogmang®severe impact. Ideal for rebuilding worn manganese rail frogs, diamonds and switches.
Lincore®M 40-48(1)RcProduces austenitic manganese steel deposit. Rebuild/join manganese steel. Limit interpass
to 500°F.
Lincore®M-1 43(1)RcThis self-shielded, flux-cored wire is recommended for the same applications as Lincore M.
However, M-1 produces less slag.
