A form of surfacing in which one or more layers of weld metal are deposited (for example, a high alloy weld deposit on steel base metal which is to be welded to a dissimilar base metal). The buttering provides a suitable transition weld deposit for subsequent completion of the butt weld on the groove face of one member.
