CastoWig 45303 W TIG rods

CastoWig 45303 W

TIG welding rod based on a high-speed steel with increased toughness and good cutting performance. Martensitic weld metal with embedded carbides and retained austenite. Not susceptible to cracking. Good hot hardness and tempering resistance. High scale resistance. Heat treatable.

Technical data
DIN EN 14700: S Fe4
Material no.: 1.3348

Applications
For hardfacing tool and high-speed steels and for the manufacture of tools by hardfacing unalloyed and low-alloy steels.

Typical applications are
Hardfacing of cold extrusion tools, cutting and embossing dies; repairs to tools such as milling cutters, shaping wheels, twist drills and taps, metal saw blades, shaping and planing tools as well as hardfacing of coupling forks, cams, grippers, mixer blades, coal planes or screw conveyors.

Processing instructions
Remove cracked or damaged material. Clean welding areas. During welding, adjust the heat input to the component, its material and dimensions. Preheat workpieces to 400 - 450 °C. Do not fall below the preheating temperature during welding.
Ensure a continuous supply of filler material.
