EN ISO CODE:
Forging die rebuilding fux cored wire.
A customized gas-shielded wire designed for the
fabrication of a new die and the rebuilding of worn-out
Hot forging dies with higher hardness
requirements. The deposited weld metal is
resistant to heat, metal-to-metal wear & galling.
It is free from cracks, porosities, and any other
surface defects. The wire has a very good welder's
appeal and easy slag detachability.
LoTherme GS-535 (Spl) wire is suitable for weld-surfacing & reclamation of
those forging dies, hot working tools & guides, etc, where the hardness requirement
is on the higher side (>40 HRC).

The wire is supplied in a layer wound 12.5/15 kg plastic spool.
Each spool is sealed in a polythene bag and then packed in a shrink-wrapped
corrugated box.
