HARDSURFACING
RECOMMENDATIONS
For hardsurfacing, Stanley LaBounty recommends
Amalloy 814H rod or equivalent. It is important to al-
ways use a hardsurfacing weld material with a chro-
mium content of less than .10 percent and a severe
impact-resistance rating to prevent cracking. If you
have questions about what hardsurface material to
use, please contact the Stanley LaBounty Customer
Service Department.
Failure to adhere to LaBounty hardsurfacing rec-
ommendations may compromise the attachment
warranty. Hardsurfacing should be applied directly
on top of the build-up welds. The build up acts as
a bonding or underlayment for the hardsurfacing,
which reduces the chances that the hardsurfacing
will crack.

DO NOT use stainless hardsurface rod. It will crack
the base metal which can cause a major structural
failure of your shear jaws.
