| DIN 8555 / EN 14700 | TIG 6-GF-55-T |
Purpose
- TIG flux-cored rod, Cr-Mo tool steel, hardness per T Fe 8 / DIN 8555 class.
- Chromium (7%) and molybdenum (2%) for wear resistance in precision hardfacing.
Why it works
Chromium (7%) and molybdenum (2%) on a medium-high carbon base (0.55%) form carbides that raise the deposit's wear resistance — being a TIG process with a flux-cored rod, it allows finer weld-pool control than a covered electrode, useful on parts with delicate geometry.
Fields of application
- Precision surfacing of tool steel on parts with delicate geometry.
- TIG repair where fine weld-pool control is required.

Advantages
- More precise pool control than a covered electrode, thanks to the TIG process.
- Chromium and molybdenum provide wear resistance via carbide formation.
Limitations
- No final hardness value documented in the supplier datasheet — confirm with a shop trial before critical use.
