[MW:12201] Hairline cracks in stellite 6 coating (HF) - A216 WCB

Is it true that stellite 6 HF will leave hairline cracks on the
surfece?, one of the reputed valve vendor is quoitng that

"Seat overlay made of Stellite 6 is possible but not recommended by
us. We clearly mention that it is not possible to perform a Stellite 6
completely free of hair cracks. Probably after final machining the
surface will show hair cracks which is normal in case of using
Stellite 6 and this do not affect the sealing function. We normally do
not use Stellite 6 because of this fine cracks and because of much
better experience with Stellite 21. If you insist on Stellite 6
seating surface showing hair cracks will not be a reason not to accept
the valves if seat tightness test is ok"
