Hardfacing MIG Wire
Looking for MIG wire for repair or rebuild? Our hardfacing wires deliver better wear performance on parts exposed to wear such as abrasion, impact, corrosion.
If you’re searching for MIG hardfacing wire, you’re looking for a consumable that can rebuild worn surfaces and apply a wear-resistant overlay. In industrial hardfacing, this is achieved using flux cored or metal cored hardfacing welding wires, designed with the most appropriate alloys, arc behaviour and deposit properties needed for wear protection.
Our flux and metal-cored hardfacing wires are manufactured for demanding service conditions and used across mining, cement, steel, rail, agriculture and general heavy industry.
What is MIG hardfacing wire used for?
Hardfacing wires are used to:
- Restore worn areas and rebuild surfaces
- Apply overlays that resist abrasion, impact or metal-to-metal wear
- Extend the working life of high-wear components
- Improve reliability and reduce downtime
Typical applications
Flux or metal-cored hardfacing wires are suitable for rebuilding and protecting:
- Crusher components
- Screws, augers and conveyors
- Bucket edges, blades and earthmoving tools
- Mixer paddles and liners
- Rail crossings and switches
- Agricultural points and soil-engaging parts
- Forging tools and other wear-critical tooling

Our flux and metal cored hardfacing wires
We supply a full portfolio covering:
- Chromium carbide welding wires for severe mineral abrasion
- Complex carbide welding wires for abrasion with moderate impact
- Nickel based welding wires
- Cobalt based welding wires
- Welding wires suitable for single or multiple layers depending on the wear mechanism and service requirements
- Multiple diameter options available
Why not use general-purpose MIG wire?
General fabrication wires can be used for basic repair work or build-up, but they do not provide:
- The alloy chemistry needed for real wear resistance
- Carbide formation for abrasion protection
- Hardness levels suited to severe service
- Deposits designed for multi-layer hardfacing
- Flux and metal-cored hardfacing wires deliver the metallurgical properties required for superior long-term wear performance
Technical support
Correct wire selection depends on:
- Base metal
- Dominant wear mechanism
- Operating temperature
- Required hardness and deposit thickness
Our technical team will assess your application and recommend the most suitable flux or metal-cored hardfacing wire.
