Lincoln Guardian CF
Lincoln Guardian CF applies to both itself and other hardbound materials
Lincoln Guardian CF is the industry’s premier, crack-free, casing-friendly hardbanding solution, delivering exceptional wear protection while maintaining smooth arc performance for high operator appeal. Lincoln Guardian CF applies to both itself and other hardbound materials.
The product features a unique, uniform glass-forming melt chemistry that allows high undercooling to be achieved during welding.
Performance and applications
The resulting structure provides ideal performance in slurry abrasive applications, and the lack of large primary carbides enhances the casing-friendly performance.
Typically used in applications such as drill pipes, tubular, wear pads, and stabilizers, these consumables are incredibly versatile and are available in a 1/16” (1.6mm) 33lb (15kg) plastic spool and a 1/16” (1.6mm) 45lb (20.4kg) fiber spool.
