Lotherme HF-45M is a composite wire especially for the steel industry as a weld overlay for continuous caster rolls. Modified carbon composition provides higher hardness when compared to Lotherme HF-45. The addition of Alloys resists the formation of thermal fatigue cracks. Wire has Excellent corrosion & wear resistance properties. Typical applications are steel mill continuous caster rolls.
