NanoSteel's Super Hard Steel® (SHS) cored wires for weld overlay applications are patented steel alloys which provide superior wear performance in extreme service environments for increasing the life of industrial parts and components.

Typical Use:

Applied via Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Open Arc Welding (OAW) as an alternative to chrome carbides, complex carbides and tungsten carbide alloys for wear. Application example: Hardfacing for vibratory compactor drums, excavator buckets, dozer blades, loader buckets, fan blades and feed screws; overlay wear plate for haul truck beds and side dump doors, conveyor systems, transfer chutes, dragline and shovel buckets, hoppers and rock crushers

Apparent use of Nanotechnology: formation of near nano-scale microstructure when welded
Reason for Inclusion:

"When welded, SHS cored wires form a near nano-scale microstructure with a unique combination of high hardness and toughness properties."  (see product link)
