What is hardfacing?

Hardfacing is the process of depositing a thick layer or coating of wear-resistant materials on the surface of steel parts to provide protection against wear. Metal parts often lose their functionality due to wear and tear during service. Metal parts do not fail their intended use due to fractures but for loss in the dimension. Hardfacing prevents that by applying a thick coating

What metal parts can be hardfaced?

Steel alloys that contain less than 1 percent of carbon content can be hardfaced easily. Other base metals that can be hardfaced are:

Copper base alloys Nickel base alloys

Stainless steel

What are the common techniques of hardfacing?

The most common techniques of hardfacing are: Gas metal arc welding Flux-cored arc welding Gas tungsten arc welding Shielded metal arc welding Submerged arc welding

Which metal parts need hardfacing?

Metal parts that are subjected to severe friction between machinery and bulk materials, frequent metal on metal friction and abrasive conditions require hardfacing.

What are ISO 3834 hardfaced services?

ISO 3834 is a standard that certifies hardfacing services. An ISO 3834 certification ensures a company adheres to the industry standards and has tools, skills and staff to offer hardfacing services.

What is the best hardfacing method?

If you are looking for hardfacing for steel structures, tungsten carbide embedding is the best method.
