Hard facing rod for metal to metal wear, such as wire guides, high speed steel, die and tool steel.
A Chromium-Molybdenum Steel rod with specific addition of Vanadium, Tungsten and other hardening alloying elements, for the repair and reclamation of machining errors in high-speed steel, tool steels and die steel, and for the hardsurfacing of carbon-steel components.
Suitable for butt or fillet use in repair and maintenance applications on tool steels, and in providing abrasion resistance for metal to metal wear on steel components such as wire guides, collars, etc.
Weldability Sif SIFSTEEL HF6 Hard Surfacing TIG Rod is a unique alloy, making possible the repair welding of die, tool and high-speed steels using the TIG/GTAW process. The reduced heat-affected zone provided by TIG helps to prevent brittling, and the specific addition of vanadium in the Sifsteel HF6 composition provides tool steel compatibility. The weld deposit of Sifsteel HF6 is extremely crack-resistant when repairing difficult-to-weld steels.
