38748 - UTP Robotic 601 T Seamless Hardfacing Wire 1.2mm

High-Performance Seamless Hardfacing Wire for Automation

The UTP Bohler Robotic 601 T Fe 8 is a premium seamless flux-cored wire designed specifically for gas-shielded metal arc welding in hardfacing applications. Engineered by voestalpine Böhler Welding, this consumable stands out due to its seamless manufacturing technology. Unlike folded wires, the seamless tube design hermetically seals the internal flux against the atmosphere, preventing moisture absorption during storage and use. This feature is critical for maintaining low hydrogen levels in the weld metal, thereby significantly reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking, even in high-stress industrial environments.

This 1.2mm wire is formulated to deposit a martensitic steel alloy containing Carbon, Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Tungsten. This specific chemistry delivers a weld deposit with exceptional hardness, typically ranging between 57 and 62 HRC depending on the cooling rate and number of layers. It is ideally suited for surfacing parts subject to severe abrasion combined with moderate to high impact loads. The "Robotic" designation in the product name highlights its superior feedability; the copper-coated surface and rigid tubular structure ensure consistent wire feeding without jamming, making it the perfect choice for automated and robotic welding cells where downtime must be minimized.

Industrially, the UTP Robotic 601 T is a workhorse for the maintenance and repair of heavy machinery. It is frequently utilized in the refurbishment of earth-moving equipment, such as excavator bucket teeth and cutting edges, as well as in the recycling and mining sectors for crusher jaws, shredder hammers, and conveyor screws. The wire operates with a stable spray arc transfer when used with mixed gas (Argon/CO2), producing smooth beads with minimal spatter and easy-to-remove slag. This efficiency reduces post-weld cleaning time and increases overall productivity for fabrication shops and maintenance departments alike.

By choosing UTP Robotic 601 T, facilities benefit from a consumable that combines the metallurgical superiority of a complex carbide-forming alloy with the physical robustness of a seamless wire. It ensures long-lasting wear protection for critical components, extending their service life and reducing the frequency of costly part replacements.
