OVERVIEW

Professional Tool & Die Repair Solution

The Josef 9770 Tool Steel TIG Wire is a premium maintenance alloy designed to extend the life of your most critical industrial tools. When expensive dies, molds, and cutting edges wear down or chip, replacing them can be costly and time-consuming. This 3/32" TIG rod offers a superior alternative, allowing you to rebuild and resurface damaged areas with a deposit that rivals or exceeds the original base metal in performance.

Formulated for versatility, the 9770 alloy is often referred to as a "universal" tool steel rod. It bridges the gap between various tool steel grades, providing a compatible and durable repair for H-13, A-2, D-2, and other common tool steels. Its exceptional crack resistance makes it easy to use, even on complex geometries where stress can be a concern. Whether you are a local machine shop or a large manufacturing facility, keeping a tube of Josef 9770 on hand ensures you are ready to tackle unexpected tool failures immediately.

The deposit achieves a high hardness of approximately 58-62 HRC, ensuring excellent resistance to metal-to-metal wear and abrasion. This makes it ideal for rebuilding shear blades, punches, and stamping dies that must maintain a sharp, durable edge. With Josef's commitment to quality, you can trust this wire to flow smoothly and produce clean, defect-free welds every time.
