TigTectic® 5HW
Specially Formulated TIG Rod to Repair H-Class Hot Work Tool and Die Steels and for Surface Modification of Low-Alloy Steels
Specially formulated to repair HW-class grade dies used in hot forming operations. Weld metal is heat treatable.
Description
Specially formulated to repair HW-class grade dies used in hot forming operations. Weld metal is heat treatable.
Applications
Typically used for repairing forging dies, hot piercing punches, die casting dies and gripper & header dies. Weld deposits maintain impression profiles over many forging cycles & resist time-in-service tempering while maintaining superior toughness.
