In this Rotochopper University video, Rotochopper’s Director of Customer Service, Doug (Spike) Meyer will show you some basics on applying hardfacing weld, and will also demonstrate how to re-apply hardface weld to rotor rakers. Hardface weld, also called hardsurfacing, is a wear resilient weld that helps prolong the life of a component or surface. Hardface weld is often used in abrasive environments to protect the base steel from wear.
