The “technical stuff”:  

Durocast™ is a registered Trade Mark for WEXCO' s best bore protection for plasticating barrels. This bore inlay features solid (i.e. not hollow), spherical tungsten carbide combined with a chromium-boron-nickel matrix.

The solid spherical tungsten carbide provides outstanding primary wear resistance. It yields a micro hardness in the barrel bore of over DPH 4000 (a hardness range too hard to measure with the standard Rockwell “C” scale).

The chromium boride, along with the high chrome content, further enhances wear and corrosion resistance. The high density of spherical carbides makes this WEXCO lining material an excellent choice for longest-lasting performance.

The “core” of our limited 5-year warranty:

WEXCO’s Durocast™ bimetallic cylinders are warranted against excessive wear for a period of 5 years from date sold. WEXCO guarantees that Durocast™ cylinders will not wear more than .010” (total) on the bore diameter.
