WEARmig Tool 55 is a tool steel solid wire for cold and hot work tool steels, with a high weld metal hardness of 53 to 58 HRC.
Typical work covers forging tools, rolling mandrels, hot cutting knives, calender and axial rolls, and hardfacing of mild and low-alloy steels. The wire suits hand work with a semiautomatic torch and mechanised stations.

Check how many layers you need to reach the target hardness, the first layer always mixes with the base material. Match the drive rolls to the wire diameter and check the liner, wire slip shows up at once in an unstable arc. Watch the wire stick-out from the contact tip, too long a one lowers the arc voltage and worsens the fusion. Previously sold as UTP A 73 G2.
