Postalloy Forging Die Repair and Flood Welding Wires
These alloys are designed with a very efficient deep penetrating flux/slag system that pulls contaminants out of the molten weld metal and absorbs them into the slag. The resulting weld metal has a very low level of interstitial contaminants and ultra low level of macro contaminants. Weld metal deposited with these alloys provides very consistent mechanical properties that yield consistent, reproducible results.

Postalloy 2742-FCG – An iron base low-carbon chrome/moly/tungsten hot-work tool steel used when machinability in the "as-welded" condition is required - very good thermal fatigue resistance. Excellent resistance to heat-checking when subjected to water quenching. Uses include the repair of spalled or heat-checked areas on hydraulic press and drop hammer forging dies; filling in complete impressions that are to be recut to
dimensions; worn areas on rams and sow blocks. |
Hardness: 38-43 Rc Available Sizes: .045", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" (1.2, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2 mm) |
|
Postalloy 2747-FCG – A tough iron base chrome/nickel/moly hot-work tool steel alloy. Alloy chemistry is balanced to provide weld metal with maximum wear resistance while still being machinable. Deposits reach maximum hardness as deposited and can be tempered to a lower hardness if desired. Weld deposits are shock-resistant, and are highly resistant to heat-checking, oxidation and wear. Excellent choice for repair of deformed, broken, spalled or heat checked areas of hydraulic press and drop hammer forging dies. For filling medium deep impressions that are to be
re-cut to dimensions. |
Hardness: 44-49 Rc as-welded 38-42 Rc as tempered Available Sizes: .045", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" (1.2, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2 mm) |
|
Postalloy 2755-FCG – An iron base chrome/moly/tungsten/vanadium hot-work tool steel that resists wear from shock, heat checking, scaling and erosion at high temperatures. Uniform heat-treatment response and good dimensional stability. Use for repair and reclamation of upsetter, forging, and coining dies; trimmers, shear blades and punches and many other hot-working applications. |
Hardness: 53-57 Rc Available Sizes: .045", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" (1.2, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2 mm) |
|
Postalloy 286-FCO - an iron base high chromium, nickel, moly alloy designed for applications involving high temperature wear, impact, metal-to-metal wear and thermal shock. Weld deposits work-harden in service and provide outstanding impact and wear resistance up to 1100°F(595°C), and are fully machinable. Applications include shear blades, tong bits, hot metal ladles, mill guides, hot-forming
tools, extrusion dies. |

|
Postalloy 2521-SPL - the toughest of all cobalt alloys. Will resist deformation from severe impact at high temperatures - up to 1500°F(816°C). Weld deposits are machinable and exhibit superior resistance to heat-checking, spalling, and chipping and erosion in areas where heat tends to build-up. Applications include forging dies, hot trim dies, hot
extrusion dies, hot shear blades, punches. |
