Description:
Vulcan 910-AH is an air harden tool steel electrode which produces a shockresistant
weld deposit that is dense, porous-free, and heat
treatable. Deposits take a high polish. When a cushioning
layer is required, Vulcan 400-CG or 450-DD is recommended.
Typical Applications:
Die cast dies, cold shears, header dies, chisel, punch, and
moil points for air hammer tools; blanking and bending dies,
trimmer dies, forming dies, extrusion dies, coining dies, and
sledge hammer faces.
Procedures:
Remove all cracks and heat checks by grinding or by some
other suitable method. Clean area of all oxides and foreign
matter. Use an anti-spatter paint on areas that are not to be
welded. Preheat unit to a maximum of 600 degrees F if it is in
the AISI "S" series tool steels. Be sure unit does not exceed
600 degrees during any phase of the welding process. On
other base metals, pre-heat and post-heat accordingly.
Deposit stringer beads. Peening is advisable. After welding,
cool in still air to 150 degrees F. Temper at 600 degrees F at
one hour per inch of thickness.
Hardness: 52 to 57 RC
