Purpose
- Hardfacing electrode for tool steel, DIN class E 3-UM-60 ST, 58 HRC hardness.
- MIG-wire equivalent: GeKaTec TOOL 55 SG (manufacturer cross-reference).
Why it works
Covered electrode of DIN class E 3-UM-60 ST, formulated to deposit a 58 HRC hardfacing layer directly onto tool steel — the supplier datasheet gives no exact chemistry, so selection versus TLS 60 or TLS 66 should be based on DIN class and current range rather than alloy analysis.
Fields of application
- Surfacing tool-steel parts requiring 60 HRC hardness.
- Tooling repair where the MIG equivalent (GeKaTec TOOL 55 SG) isn't the available process.

Advantages
- Weldable on DC or AC — flexible depending on available equipment.
- Consistent 60 HRC hardness per DIN 8555.
Limitations
- Supplier datasheet gives no chemistry or detailed application data — hardness and DIN class are the only technical data available.
