Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stellite Super Hard Alloy Cast Rod

Hi Ray:
Yup, you are right.
I must have hard faced a million backhoe buckets with Stellite when I was a
welder back one summer in the '70s.
Stellite was used for turning tools until the widespread availability of
carbides pretty much made it obsolete for metalworking tools.
Cheers

Marcus
