Weldclass offers a range of tried-and-tested hardfacing consumables, including hardfacing MIG wire and hardfacing welding rods / electrodes.
Weldclass offers a range of tried-and-tested hardfacing consumables, including hardfacing MIG wire and hardfacing welding rods / electrodes.
Time is money and often the biggest cost-component of the hardfacing process is; a) the time and labour involved in applying hardfacing, and b) the down-time or loss of production while equipment is out of service . This cost is often much higher than the cost of the hardfacing wire or electrodes.
This is why Weldclass has worked with leading manufacturers and metallurgical experts globally to develop hardfacing wires and electrodes that suit Australian conditions and offer superior wear life, to increase equipment service life, reduce down-time costs, and increase up-time.
To achieve this, here's a guide to help you select the best product for your application.
Description: Wear that is mostly caused by abrasion, with low-to-medium impact. This is the most common scenario for agricultural and general earth moving applications, where the tool is scraping or sliding against abrasive matter/earth.
Examples: Ground-engaging equipment used in sandy and clay soils. (Australian sandy soils are among the most abrasive in the world). May be low-to-medium levels of impact from rocks etc.
Recommended Products:
Weldclass Platinum CX-1800 Gasless 'MIG' Wire: Made in Europe using a special carbide not found in other wires, this offers exceptional abrasion resistance, and is our most popular hardfacing product.
Weldclass Platinum 943 Stick Electrodes: Offers both very high abrasion resistance and high impact strength. If it has to be welded with "stick", this is our #1 recommended solution!
Description: Abrasive wear, accompanied by higher impact such as shocks and blows.
Examples: Ground-engaging equipment & similiar, which is subject to abrasive wear AND frequent, heavy impact against rock, hard surfaces or objects.
Recommended Products:
Weldclass Platinum CX-2150 Gasless 'MIG' Wire: Made in Europe, offering a unique combination of both extreme abrasion resistance AND high impact resistance. Up to 6-7 times better wear life vs basic hardfacing wires. If you require the longest possible wear life, together with high impact strength - this is it!
Weldclass Platinum SD-980 Solid MIG Wire: Made in Europe, this wire is very versatile. Used with gas, SD-980 is all-positional and very easy to use. Medium abrasion resistance, high impact strength and can also be used for metal-to-metal wear where required.
While CX-2105 and CX-1800 wires will offer significantly better wear life against abrasion, SD-980 is a great all-rounder & a great option where there is high impact, where all-positional welding capability is needed or where the operator prefers a standard 'solid' MIG wire.
Weldclass Platinum 943 Stick Electrodes: Offers both very high abrasion resistance and high impact strength. If it has to be welded with "stick", this is our #1 recommended solution!
Weldclass Promax 700 Stick Electrodes: Medium abrasion resistance with moderate-to-high impact strength. A tough weld deposit also makes this electrode suitable for parts subject to fatigue or flexing in service.

According to the structure of the wire, flux cored hardfacing welding wire can be divided into two types of seamed wire and seamless wire. Seamless wire can be coated with copper. Seamless wire with good performance and low cost has become the direction of future development.
According to whether there is a protective gas, flux cored hardfacing welding wire can be divided into gas-protected wire and self-protected wire. Flux cored hardfacing welding wire core powder composition is similar to that of the welding electrode flux, containing arc stabilizer, deoxidizer, slagging agent and alloying agent. According to the flux cored hardfacing welding wire inner filler powder with or without slagging agent, can be divided into “flux powder type” wire and “metal powder type” wire. According to the alkalinity of the slag, can be divided into titanium type, titanium calcium type and calcium type welding wire.
Titanium-type slag flux cored hardfacing welding wire welding channel forming beautiful, all-position welding into the process performance, arc stability, small spatter, but the weld metal toughness and crack resistance is poor. In contrast, the calcium slag flux cored hardfacing welding wire has excellent weld toughness and anti-cracking properties, but the weld channel formation and welding process performance is slightly worse. Titanium calcium slag system between the above two.
“Metal powder” flux cored hardfacing welding wire welding process performance is similar to solid cored wire. Its deposition efficiency and anti-cracking properties are better than the “flux powder” wire. Most of the powder cores are metal powder (iron powder, deoxidizer, etc.), and special arc stabilizer is added to ensure less slag, high efficiency, low spatter and stable arc during welding. In addition, the low hydrogen diffusion content of the weld improves the anti-cracking performance.
The cross-sectional shape of the flux cored hardfacing welding wire has a great impact on the welding process performance and metallurgical properties. According to the cross-sectional shape of flux cored hardfacing welding wire can be divided into two categories: simple O-shaped and complex cross-sectional folding shape, which can be divided into plum-shaped, T-shaped, E-shaped and intermediate wire filling shape.
The more complex and symmetrical the cross-sectional shape of the flux cored hardfacing welding wire, the more stable the arc. The metallurgical reaction and protection of the flux core is more adequate. But as the diameter of the wire decreases, this difference is gradually reduced, when the diameter of the wire is less than 2 mm, cut into the shape of the impact is no longer obvious.
Flux cored hardfacing welding wire has good welding process performance, good weld quality, and strong adaptability to steel. It can be used to weld various types of steel structures, including low carbon steel, low alloy high strength steel, low temperature steel, heat-resistant steel, stainless steel and wear-resistant overlay welding. The shielding gases used are CO2 and Ar + CO2, the former for common structures, the latter for important structures. Flux cored hardfacing welding wire is suitable for automatic or semi-automatic welding, DC or AC arc are required.
Most of these wires are titanium-type slag system, good welding technology, high welding productivity. Mainly used in shipbuilding, bridges, construction, vehicle manufacturing, etc. Low-carbon steel and high-strength steel flux cored hardfacing welding wire varieties, from the weld strength level of 490MPa tensile strength and 590Mpa level of flux cored hardfacing welding wire has been commonly used. From the performance point of view, some focus on the process performance, some focus on the mechanical properties of the weld and crack resistance, some are suitable for all-position welding, including downward vertical welding, and some are dedicated to the fillet weld.
Stainless steel flux cored hardfacing welding wire has more than 20 kinds of mouth, in addition to chromium-nickel stainless steel flux cored hardfacing welding wire, there are chromium stainless steel flux cored hardfacing welding wire. Wire diameter of 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 mm, etc., to meet the needs of stainless steel thin plate, medium plate and thick plate welding. Most of the shielding gas used is CO2, can also be used Ar + (20% to 50%) CO2 gas mixture.
In order to increase the wear resistance or make the metal surface obtain certain special properties, it is necessary to transition a certain amount of alloying elements from the wire. However, the wire is difficult to process and manufacture because it contains more carbon and alloying elements. With the introduction of flux cored hardfacing welding wire, these alloying elements can be added to the flux core, and processing and manufacturing is convenient. Therefore, the use of flux cored hardfacing welding wire for submerged arc overlay welding wear-resistant surfaces is a common method, and has been widely used. In addition, by adding alloying elements to the sintered flux, the overlay layer of the corresponding composition can be obtained after overlay welding. It can be used in combination with solid or flux cored hardfacing welding wire to meet different overlay requirements.
