HF6 Tool Steel Hardfacing TIG Filler Rods - 1.6mm Dia. - Pack of 12

Tool Steel Hardfacing TIG Rods HF6 are crafted from a unique blend of Chromium-Molybdenum Steel, enriched with specific additions of Vanadium, Tungsten, and other hardening alloying elements. These rods are specifically designed for the repair and reclamation of machining errors in high-speed steel, tool steels, and die steel. They also serve as an ideal solution for hard surfacing carbon-steel components, ensuring resistance against metal-to-metal wear.

Features and Benefits

• Versatile Composition: Contains a blend of Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Tungsten, and other hardening elements.
• High Hardness: Offers a hardness of approximately 60 HRC, ensuring durability and wear resistance.
• Crack-Resistant: The weld deposit of Sifsteel HF6 is extremely resistant to cracking, even when repairing challenging-to-weld steels.
• TIG/GTAW Compatibility: Designed for the TIG/GTAW process, minimizing the heat-affected zone and preventing brittling.

Common Applications

• Repair and Maintenance: Ideal for butt or fillet use in repair and maintenance applications on tool steels.
• Abrasion Resistance: Provides resistance against metal-to-metal wear on steel components such as wire guides and collars.
• High-Speed Steel, Die, and Tool Steel: Perfect for correcting machining errors and enhancing wear resistance.
• Hard Surfacing: Suitable for carbon-steel components that require enhanced wear resistance.

Welding Positions

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.

Material to be Welded

Sifsteel HF6 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.
