959-T-.062 - H-13 Tool Steel TIG Welding Rods 1/16" - 10lb Tube

Premium Tool Steel Alloys for Industrial Repair

Josef Gas provides high-performance solutions for the tool and die industry with the Weld Mold 959 (H-13) TIG Rod. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of hot and cold work tooling, this 1/16-inch diameter rod is an essential consumable for maintenance departments and specialty fabrication shops. The H-13 grade is renowned for its versatility and durability, making it the go-to choice for repairing expensive dies and molds rather than replacing them. In the fast-paced world of industrial manufacturing, downtime is costly. When a critical die or mold fails, waiting for a replacement can halt production lines and lead to significant financial losses. That's where Josef Gas steps in. We stock essential repair alloys like the Weld Mold 959 to ensure you have immediate access to the materials needed to get back up and running.

Our 10lb tube packaging ensures you have ample material for extensive repair jobs or ongoing maintenance schedules. The Weld Mold 959 alloy delivers a deposit that matches the characteristics of H-13 tool steel, offering excellent resistance to thermal shock and heat checking. This is critical for components subjected to rapid heating and cooling cycles, such as aluminum die casting dies. The H-13 alloy is particularly valued for its balance; it is not just hard, it is tough. This means it can absorb the impact of forging hammers or the high pressure of injection molding without fracturing. By choosing Josef Gas, you gain access to professional-grade filler metals that help extend the service life of your industrial equipment.

Whether you are repairing forging dies, plastic molds, or hot shear blades, this TIG rod provides a sound, porosity-free deposit that can be machined and heat-treated to match the hardness of the base tool. Our team understands the nuances of tool steel welding and can guide you in selecting the right filler metal for your specific base material. Trust Josef Gas for your specialty alloy needs and keep your production tooling in peak condition with our reliable supply of Weld Mold products.
