SD-980 hard-facing MIG welding wire is a versatile and easy-to-use "all-rounder". Being a solid wire, PLATINUM SD-980 is easy to apply and is all-positional. Ideal for applications where abrasion resistance is required, and especially when accompanied by shocks and blows. The weld can handle abrasion, moderate-to-high impact and metal-to-metal wear. Commonly used on excavator buckets and teeth, screws and augers, tracks, crushing jaws/wheels, etc. Available in 1.2mm in 15kg or 4.5kg spools. Requires minimum 120 amps. Use with Ar+CO2 mixed gas.

Hardfacing MIG Wire - Solid or Gasless?
Here's a quick run-down of the Pros & Cons!
CrC Gasless Flux-Cored Hardfacing Wire
Advantages:
- No gas required, convenient application in the field or in workshop
- High Cr (chromium) content (27%) for high abrasion resistance
- Longer wear / service life and less frequent applications in medium-to-higher abrasion applications, such as sandy soil
- Low-to-Moderate impact resistance
- Available in 1.2mm, 5kg or 15kg spools (also 1.6mm 15kg)
Limitations:
- Horizontal or down-hand position application only (not recommended for vertial or overhead welding positions)
- Not recommended for higher impact applications
Amperage Parameters (approx): 120A - 200A (1.2mm)
Platinum SD-980 Solid Hardfacing Wire (use with gas)
Advantages:
- Easy to use
- All-positional (suitable for horizontal, vertical & overhead application)
- Combination of good abrasion resistance with high impact resistance
- Good choice for abrasive wear where shocks and blows will occur
- Also suitable for metal-to-metal applications
- Available in 1.2mm, 4.5kg and 15kg spools
Limitations:
- Requires shielding gas (Ar+Co2 mix) - may not be best choice for application in windy environments
- Not the best choice for high-to-extreme abrasion applications, for example sandy soils. While SD-980 will handle abrasion at all levels, CrC will offer longer wear / service life and less-frequent applications.
Amperage Parameters (approx): 120A - 270A (1.2mm)
