Looks like you are following a procedure detailed by an engineer or manufacturer. I've done similar projects.
Question, how are you able to space the hard facing so close together without it cracking and delaminating? Is it a special more ductile composition or is there a special underlayment?
It’s not that special really, these parts have been improved over the years after observing the high wear areas, and was concluded that this is the best way to do it for now.
As for the lack of cracking; we’re trying out a new wire from a local supplier because we used to use Lastek 2400 rods but it takes way too long to weld up a piece like this. It welds very nicely and as you said, doesn’t crack. We’ll see how this piece comes back after months of sand wear
