In todays episode, I am chatting with Mark Wilson about a subject I’ve always wanted to learn more about and that is hardfacing. I’M sure you all have seen the crazy ornate weld patterns on bull dozer blades, loader buckets, dredge shovels and excavator teeth. Well, the welds are just more than something cool to look at. They’re put on to prevent wear and tear on the attachment. But there’s a certain way these welds need to be put on and there’s certain electrode that should be used based on the type of wear the equipment will encounter. Today Mark shares his experience and knowledge about all things hardfacing.   Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arcs for PTSD Awareness Raffle  Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home AWS Welding Summit 10% Off When you use Codeword AJWS at checkout Friends of the Show: Lincoln Electric Instagram: @lincolnelectric Online Store: https://bit.ly/LincolnElectric-ArcJunkies Save 20% on all Gear and Accessories use ARCJUNKIES20 in the discount box at checkout Save 10% on Welding Machines and Fume Extractors use ARCJUNKIES10 in the discount box at checkout      Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.
