[TheForge] hard faced dies

Thu May 2 11:23:02 2002

i was thinking of welding a hard face directly on the A36. not welding a plate on. i figured if they can weld a hard face on rock crushers that it would work okay for dies used on hot metal.

i may just try the A36 as is or superquenched as dan mentioned.

thanks.
