Frequently asked questions

Which hardfacing TIG filler rod do I need?

The correct hardfacing TIG filler rod depends on the type of wear your component experiences, including abrasion, impact, metal-to-metal wear, erosion or heat.

What is a hardfacing TIG filler rod?

A hardfacing TIG filler rod is a specialist alloy designed to rebuild worn components or apply a wear-resistant surface that extends the service life of equipment.

How do I choose the right hardfacing TIG filler rod?

Start by identifying the wear mechanism rather than the parent material. Understanding whether the component suffers from abrasion, impact, corrosion or heat is the key to selecting the correct alloy.

What is the difference between abrasion-resistant and impact-resistant hardfacing alloys?

Abrasion-resistant alloys are designed for components exposed to sand, minerals and aggregate, while impact-resistant alloys absorb repeated shock loading without excessive cracking or chipping.

Can I rebuild worn components using TIG hardfacing rods?

Yes. TIG hardfacing rods are commonly used to restore worn components before returning them to service, reducing replacement costs and extending equipment life.

Why would I choose one hardfacing alloy over another?

Different hardfacing alloys are engineered for different service conditions. Selecting the correct alloy ensures the deposited weld metal performs in the environment it was designed for.

What industries use hardfacing TIG filler rods?

Hardfacing TIG filler rods are widely used in mining, quarrying, agriculture, recycling, power generation, cement production, heavy engineering and maintenance repair.

Can hardfacing TIG filler rods be machined after welding?

Some hardfacing alloys remain machinable after welding, while others become extremely hard and are generally finished by grinding. The correct choice depends on the alloy and application.

Do I need to prepare the component before hardfacing?

Yes. Removing damaged material, cleaning the surface and, where necessary, rebuilding worn areas helps produce a sound hardfaced deposit with maximum service life.

What questions should I ask before choosing a hardfacing TIG filler rod?

Before selecting a hardfacing filler rod, identify: What type of wear is occurring? Is the component exposed to abrasion, impact or metal-to-metal wear? Is this a repair or a preventative wear layer? What is the parent material? What service life are you aiming to achieve? Answering these questions will help you select the most appropriate hardfacing TIG filler rod for your application.
