Metco 1018A is a revolutionary 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. Deposits of Metco 1018A can offer impact performance that is as much as 8-times that of both chromium carbide overlays and nanostructured forming steels.
