💡 Key Repair & Operation Instructions:

  • Dimensional Stability: High Manganese and Tungsten additions ensure steady deposit hardness (55–60 HRC) with negligible post-weld distortion on precision tool edges.
  • Pre-Heat Control: Preheating to 200°C–300°C for TIG repairs prevents thermal stress cracking near sharp contours and mounting holes.
