A filler wire (consumable) (140, 140A, 140C, 240) for depositing wear-resistant materials (142) in a system (100, 1400) for any of brazing, cladding, building up, filling, hard-facing overlaying, welding, and joining applications is provided. The consumable (140, 140A, 140C, 240) is composed of base filler materials (141) consistent with commonly known compositions. For example, the base filler material (141) can comprise standard materials used in many standard mild steel wires. In addition to the base filler materials, the consumable includes wear-resistant materials (142). The wear-resistant materials (142) include at least one of amorphous metallic powder, diamond crystals (142), diamond powder (143), tungsten carbide, and alu- minides. |
