P20 Welding Wire

Material: P20 / 1.2311 / 718
Hardness: 30–34 HRC
🧊 Plastic Mold Steel

Application: General injection mold flash, parting line, and wear repair. Deposited metal matches parent steel hardness and polishability, preventing parting line shadows.

💡 Key Repair & Operation Instructions:

  • Matching Hardness: Deposited weld metal yields 30–34 HRC, perfectly matching pre-hardened P20 steel to eliminate boundary haloing during polishing.
  • Parting Line Repair: Use short arc pulses to control heat input, avoiding undercut or sink marks.
