How WA solved the challenge
For optimal performance, we recommend using Hardface TIC with a diameter of 1.60 mm, particularly in conjunction with welding processes conducted in a trough filled with circulating water. This method effectively regulates heat input, enhances weldability, and minimizes distortion. Each set comprises eight hammers. The design features a continuous pattern on the crushing surface and a chequered pattern on the body. Total 352 Hammers were hardfaced.

Technical Advantages
- Enhanced welding characteristics: The process exhibits improved welding attributes, ensuring superior quality and consistency.
- Uniform ripple patterns: The resulting welds display uniform ripple patterns, contributing to aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
- Reduced slag accumulation: The system minimizes slag formation, resulting in decreased cleaning operations between consecutive layers.
- Increased hardness: The weld deposits demonstrate enhanced hardness, even in layers as thick as 5mm.
- Controlled distortion: The implementation of a water cooling arrangement effectively mitigates distortion during the welding process.
