TWD said: at this point... but I'd like to get some wire for it.You really need to look at the websites of welding alloy suppliers to find out which alloy is correct for your particular situation. There are many choices unless your welder is a 120 volt machine. A few years ago I looked for hard facing wire for my 120 volt Lincoln welder and could only find one alloy. And only one maker. So I bought it, on sale for 14 bucks a pound, 10 pound minimum. It did the job, it happened to be the right kind of alloy for the stuff I had to build up. It was very liquid and hard to control. Only flat welding could be done. If I had a higher amperage machine I could have used a different alloy that would have worked as well and would have been easier to weld with.
I'd like to add hardfacing to my backhoe buckets as well as for my auger bits.
No crazy patterns or 50lbs of weld... more of edge repair and strengthen.
What MIG wire is everyone using for hardfacing to protect against rocks\abrasive when digging and drilling.
Not too worried about my FEL bucket as that's used 90% in clay, but the backhoe buckets come out when I need to get through rock, and the auger inevtibly grinds against rock too.More of an I want than an I need to do thisat this point... but I'd like to get some wire for it.I'd like to add hardfacing to my backhoe buckets as well as for my auger bits.No crazy patterns or 50lbs of weld... more of edge repair and strengthen.What MIG wire is everyone using for hardfacing to protect against rocks\abrasive when digging and drilling.Not too worried about my FEL bucket as that's used 90% in clay, but the backhoe buckets come out when I need to get through rock, and the auger inevtibly grinds against rock too.

Hey y’allDoes anyone have any experience with hardfacing mig? I resurface this skid steer bucket half a dozen times a year, it get used to scoop potatoes off a dirty concrete floor so the blade just disappears. In the past I’ve used SMAW but I do enough of it I thought Mig would be faster. I picked up a roll of this ArmourWear from my LWS, but I can’t find any info or spec on how to run it, there’s no info on Hobarts page. I did find it listed on an older product list from Hobart, but no recommended settings, aside from DCEN which most hardfacing is done.It does run, but it’s a really rough globular spattery weld. I’ve spent all morning with it and settled on 400 ipm and 23 volts, and it runs kinda sorta okish now. But I’m burning up tips like crazy, something like 10-12 already. It’s starting to get really frustrated I’ve even tried 0.45 tips with were worse.Im getting porosity, which I don’t like but kinda expected as I’ve resurfaced this blade 5 times now, it gets dragged over dirty concrete, smashed juicy potatoes etc..I feel like throwing this stuff as far away as i can and going back to stick, but this roll was pretty darn expensive [emoji51].Any help would be much appreciated!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
