Hello,
I have some Wiese CP6511 fertilizer knives that I'd like to take a stab at applying hardfacing / hardsurfacing to.
Any recommendations on electrodes with proven abrasion resistance?
FYI I'd originally wanted to do this with MIG for efficiency but we have a small machine(10 lb roll max) & no reputable electrode company seems to peddle the small rolls. All they have is 25 lb + rolls......So I tried a roll of the 'el cheapo stuff & it was no harder than the parent metal I was testing it on. Even with minimal penetration settings.
So it looks like stick is my only option.....
TIA
