Unique MaxCS™ system for maximum Carbide Saturation. + Outlasts normal '400' and 'S00' materials by 8-12 times (see table below). Withstands heat up to 600°C. Wear life like never before! Thickness from mm (3/3) to 30mm... 20mm Cré on a 10mm base. Interlinking wide welded beads for maximum flow and smoothness. Can be countersunk holed (inserts), stud- welded rolled and fabricated. Large-scale hard-faced plate at a fraction of normal hardfacing costs. Over 30 years manufacturing in South Africa.
