Metco 1001A is an iron-based hardfacing material specifically designed to provide extreme wear and impact resistance for bulk-welded wear plate applications in conjunction with a solid iron wire. It provides the best performance in aggressive environments where impact and abrasive wear are critical sources of failure. Metco 1001A deposits can have wear resistance that is up to 4 times that of chromium carbide overlays, and significantly better service life compared to tungsten carbide overlays.
