EN ISO CODE:
A customized gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed
for the fabrication of a new die and the rebuilding of worn-out
Hot forging dies. The wire has a very good welder's
appeal and easy slag detachability. The deposited
weld metal is tough for hot or cold work tooling. It is
free from cracks, porosities, and any other surface
defects.
LoTherme GS-9580 (Mod) wire is suitable for trimmers, shear, blanking &
forming dies, punches, header dies, forging dies, hot working tools & guides, etc.
The weld metal is suitable for those areas where higher hardness is preferred.
