Why choose ABRAFIL 420?

  • High carbon and chromium content: ideal for welding 13% Cr martensitic stainless steels.

  • Excellent resistance to wear and abrasion: suitable for parts subject to friction.

  • Good resistance to moderate corrosion: useful in less aggressive environments.

  • Hardenable deposited metal: restores high hardness (~500 HB) after heat treatment.

  • Used for hardfacing: on molds, tools, turbines or mechanical parts.

  • Crackable deposit if poorly managed: requires preheating and post-weld treatment on thick parts.
