This high-speed steel (HSS) wire is used for welding punching tools and other cutting tools that require a sharp edge and long service life. It is also suitable for repairing components exposed to wear.

The hardness of the weld depends on the welding process and cannot be determined precisely in advance. When welded using a TracyTec welding machine, the resulting hardness is between 61 and 63 HRC.

Tests have been conducted by the Department of Metallurgy at the University of Rzeszów, Poland.
