Welding and reclamation of Forging Dies
With continued rising global prices of die steels the costs for new die production mean the demand for forging die welding and reclamation services has increased, providing lasting economy and increased reliability on reclaimed dies.
Worn impressions are cleaned out to reveal base material, following a detailed inspection the impression is then weld filled with an enhanced quality welding material with precision machining completing the process.
FW3
A gas-shielded flux-cored welding wire designed for the repair of forging plant including die dovetail repair. Suitable for rebuilding hot forging hammer die impressions susceptible to cracking or where machining capabilities are limited.
FW4
A gas-shielded flux-cored welding wire designed for the reclamation of hot forging dies: including: connecting rods, crankshafts, axle beams, suspension components.
FW52
Superior wire for overlaying a whole range of tool and die applications where general hard surfacing is required to give > 50HRc. FW52 has primarily been developed along the lines of the popular H13 Type wires for the repair and rebuilding of hot working tool and dies. FW52 structure has been developed to give a smoother deposit and a better wear performance than H13. The alloy deposit ensures air hardening characteristics coupled with excellent toughness and abrasion resistance at particularly high temperatures.
FW E530
Superior specially designed high strength colbalt-iron-chromium type electrode for the tool and die industry. FWE530 is designed to combat all four elements of wear, i.e., heat, impact, corrosion, and abrasion.Overlaying of extensive areas can be achieved without cracking. Excellent for rebuilding form edges and corners with minimum base metal dilution. Will retain hardness at elevated temperatures, the welds are machineable and will work harden under impact.High resistance to cracking, wear, heat, impact and corrosion, makes this an excellent product for use on shear blades, clipping tools and forging punches.
Kespar is built on a tradition of engineering refinement, a value we hold to strongly.
