Basic Hardness vs. Surface Hardness: Essential Insights For Welders

When choosing a welding table, longevity and durability are two critical factors to evaluate during your research and purchasing process. To make the best choice, it's essential to consider both Basic Hardness and Surface Hardness.

After all, who wouldn’t want to maximize the value of their investment?

To simplify, Basic Hardness assesses the material's overall resistance to deformation, while Surface Hardness highlights the durability of a material's outer layer. Siegmund welding tables excel in both areas, consistently exceeding welders' expectations.

How does Siegmund do it?

Siegmund starts by using their own proprietary tool steel, which is the perfect material for these tables, as it is harder than typical steels. With an incredibly strong base material, the tables have the ability to withstand significant force and impacts, which is necessary for a long lifespan.

With Surface Hardness in mind, Siegmund uses both BAR Coating and Plasma Nitration processes to increase the tool steel's Surface Hardness and improves the table's ability to resist wear, abrasion, and corrosion; it even helps prevent weld spatter from sticking and building up on your table's surface!
