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:

  1. 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.).
  1. 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.

  1. TIG process = precision deposition

The TIG process enables :

  • fine, controlled reloading,
  • low heat input (less deformation),
  • superior deposit quality, with no inclusions or porosity.
  1. Good cost/performance ratio

Compared with exotic alloys such as cobalt, TIG 600HB is often more economical, while offering excellent performance in abrasive environments.
