Hardfacing Cobalt 1-G CW1 1.6mm 13kg Corewire

Like the Stellite 1 type flux cored wire, Corewire produce their own version which is the CW1 Co. 
This wire is supplied on a 13kg spool and is 1.6mm in diameter. Spools are a robust plastic which ensures a smooth feed even down to the last wire layer. 

What Corewire say about this wire;
A cobalt alloy with a high volume fraction of primary carbides that provide excellent corrosion and wear resistance at elevated temperatures.
This wire is suitable for the following; 
Mill guides, palm nut oil extruder, plastic extrusion screws, mixer blades, scrapers, rubber mixer, wear pads and many other similar applications. Machinable by grinding only.
