DF-6050 as been developed specially for the forging industries. It is utilized for partial repair and for finishing dies and component surfaces,to eliminate low spots, and undercuts where flood welding has been performed. DF-6050 is heat treatable medium carbon, molybdenum, high chromium vanadium, nickel alloy with an as welded deposit. Weld deposits of this alloy are particularly dense and hard but still impart well impact resistance.
DF-6050 is recommended for the partial repair of press and hammer hot forging dies. They are very useful for repairing dies, flash lands and other areas that are worn out where the balance of the impression in good shape. They are also good for the repair of dies that are used to forge non-ferrous alloys like aluminum, titanium and magnesium etc.
