💡 Key Repair & Operation Instructions:

  • Nickel Advantage: Addition of ~1.0% Nickel prevents soft spots and ensures uniform 33–38 HRC hardness even when welding deep cavities or thick-walled molds.
  • Photo-Etching & Texturing: Excellent graining and chemical etching compatibility, leaving no visible boundary halos.
