Basic Hardness vs. Surface Hardness: Essential Insights For Welders
Basic hardness is a material's overall resistance to deformation; surface hardness is the durability of its outer layer. Siegmund welding tables start from tool steel for basic hardness, then use plasma nitriding and BAR coating to increase surface hardness and protect against scratches, corrosion and weld-spatter adhesion.
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 surface hardness and protect against scratches, corrosion and weld-spatter adhesion, as Siegmund explains.
