The Abrasocord 700 3.2mm Welding Electrode by WIA is a high-performance arc electrode designed for demanding hardfacing and wear-resistant applications. This 5 kg pack is ideal for professionals in agriculture, earthmoving, and fabrication who require durable weld deposits that withstand abrasion and moderate impact.

Formulated as a smooth-running AC/DC electrode, Abrasocord 700 deposits an air-hardening martensitic Cr-Mo-V steel alloy, producing one of the hardest steel overlays available. The weld metal is free from relief checks and can be hot forged, offering excellent resistance to abrasion while maintaining integrity under fatigue or flexing conditions. Note that in the as-welded state, the deposit cannot be machined without prior heat treatment.

• Typical Hardness: Single layer on mild steel: 53–56 HRc; Multi-layer: 55–60 HRc (actual hardness may vary with base metal and dilution)
• Applications: Post hole augers, agricultural points, shears and tynes, grader and cultivator blades, and other components subject to fatigue or flexing during service
• Material: Martensitic Cr-Mo-V steel alloy
• Electrode Size: 3.2mm
• Pack Size: 5 kg

This electrode is engineered for users seeking reliable abrasion resistance and longevity in high-wear environments.
