Weld MoldŽ 525
- Higher in alloy than 515 with
correspondingly higher physical properties and hardness.
PolytrodeŽ 525 displays excellent toughness while maintaining
superior machining characteristics. Uses include the repair of
forging-hammer bases, sow blocks, bolster plates, columns, die
shanks, rams and insert holders.
Rc 25-30
Specification: NA
Available forms: SMAW, FCAW

Sheet

Weld MoldŽ 540
- For joining, buildup,
and repairing cracked or fractured steels, fabricating
structures, machinery, assemblies and repair of equipment.
Hot work applications include flooding complete impressions on
forging dies. Widely used for overlays on dies, punches,
inserts and other parts that require this hardness.
Rc 38-42
Specification: NA
Available forms: SMAW, FCAW

Sheet

Weld MoldŽ 5550
- An alloy designed to resist abrasion,
erosion and alternate heating and cooling cycles without
thermal checking, even when coolant spray is employed. Uses
include overlays on hot-working extrusion dies, punches and
mandrels.

Weld MoldŽ
535 - A chrome/nickel/moly/vanadium alloy which has
established itself in as the forging industry standard for
die-block repair. Good machinability and substantially
improved die life makes this alloy the number one choice for
the repair and reclamation of hot-work forging dies.

Weld MoldŽ 545 - A
versatile alloy for repair and reclamation of certain hammer
and press dies. EDM machining is recommended. PolytrodeŽ H.D.
545 exhibits excellent properties at high temperatures.

Weld MoldŽ 9650
- A
medium-carbon chrome/nickel/moly wear-resistant alloy for
standard and high-energy forging dies. Deposits
shock-resistant, extra-high-performance weld metal that
reaches maximum hardness as deposited and is highly resistant
to heat-checking, corrosion and wear.
