Hi Guys,


So I have been asked to do some hard facing with the MIG, I have the wire and have given it a try but don't seem to be getting on with it too well. Its very very splattery and doesn't look to neat.

any advice would be great.


Also, what a peoples opinion on SWP welding products? are they terrible or is it just me?

thanks in advance

Hardfacing never looks like joining wire and it's weldability isn't always as good either. There are so many varitys and Most look and behave different.
Are you running it in in pos or neg polarity. Some will run better in pos others in neg. most hardface is done in neg to reduce dilution with the (usually) softer parent material. Never used Swp so can't comment on them.
Out of interest what are you hardfacing, what's the wire called. Done bits and pieces of it in the past so I may be able to help. Ha, I am hard facing a demolition jaw for a 50Ton machine. Its a big concrete pulveriser, but I have a number of things to do, along similar lines. This one is expensive and big and heavy and wearing out fast so its high up on the list of things to be done. The problem is that work don't really care to train me on how to do some of the things they throw at me. The bulk of the jaw is around the 90mm thick mark and each part of the jaw (there are two they work almost like pliers) weigh a ton. So I want to be doing this job onces and doing it right because it takes so long to strip it down and move it around and pre heat it etc.

The make of the wire I cant remember off the top of my head, but I recall it being German sounding, it wasn't Bohler though ( that sounds German, not sure they are though)

thanks for the reply
