A method for hardfacing a metal article is disclosed including applying a first pass of a metal composition to a surface of the metal article along a first application path, applying a second pass of the metal composition to the surface along a second application path, and applying a third pass of the metal composition to the surface along a third application path between the first application path and the second application path. The first pass and the second pass form a hardfacing perimeter, and the third pass fills in the hardfacing perimeter.
