If you hard surface with stoodite you use a torch to melt it into the surface like on plows, etc If you hit rock at high speed it will flake off and shatter. I used to work at an oil field drill bit manufacturing company that employed a dozen or so hard facers to tip the low speed drill bits in soft rock and it worked great for that. Several tried to hard surface mower blades but it never worked. The fusion blades have what looks like granular carbide chunks about the size of salt grains that are some how fused to the blade. I suspect electrical fusion of some sort, but don’t know.</blockquote>
