It will be a very hard tool steel I’d imagine and to withstand the forces associated with a guilli I’d say not.As were talking about wire etc is it possible to tig hardox or similar material have chipped a hand operated guillotine blade only 4 inches long with a 1\4 inch chip don't ask but the same person did this

It is a special & the cost of new is
If so looking for 1\2 a length of 1.6
Could the original blade be repurposed as a tool holder to take a cheaper more standard blade.No Hitch they are a small hand operated press with a weird shape to blade
Why 312?
312 could work, good strength level similar to hardox, and will go somewhat hard pulling the elements out of the base metal whatever it is.
Hardfacing wise:
I’ve got half a length of something that’s pretty hard, bloody expensive too. It’s a tig rod which is unusual, But it’s 3.2mm diameter. It’s Stoody But I cant remember what. I think it may be a cobalt alloy.
Or I’ve got some ESAB weartrode 55HD mma rods and Weartrode 62 which is ridiculously hard. If you knock the flux off though I have no idea if that will affect the chemistry.
Just give me a Pm if you want a stick to try outThanks for help as said ordered new will play with 312 & see how it works thanks for offer Brad

I think it’s unlikely to be Hardox too but it could be. Very strong, quite a reliable hard cutting edge, 500HB is readily machinable via carbide or grinding.312 is predominantly austenite which only hardens under work.......as I said before Id be amazed if that blade was Hardox....
The hardfacing rods usually alloy through the coating iunless they are the coated tubular variety
