Why choose ABRATIG 600 filler metal?
The use of ABRATIG 600 (often an iron- or chromium-based alloy for hardfacing) is mainly justified by its very high hardness (around 600 Brinell) and resistance to severe wear, particularly abrasion.
Here are the main reasons to use it:
- Very high hardness (~600 HB)
This high hardness makes it an excellent choice for :
- high-friction applications,
- dry or damp abrasive environments (sand, dust, sludge, etc.).
- Good abrasion resistance
It is designed to maximize the life of surfaces subject to abrasive wear, such as those on handling, grinding and digging equipment.
- TIG process = precision deposition
The TIG process enables :
- fine, controlled reloading,
- low heat input (less deformation),
- superior deposit quality, with no inclusions or porosity.
- Good cost/performance ratio
Compared with exotic alloys such as cobalt, TIG 600HB is often more economical, while offering excellent performance in abrasive environments.
