An optimized system, involving proper welding technique and welding wire, plus welding skills and programming capability, can yield longer die life and greater productivity for welders and forgers. Welding and maintaining tooling for forging operations has always been a challenge. Today, one of the greater obstacles facing forging operations is the ability to find and keep good, hands-on welders who have not only the necessary skills (or, at least are willing to learn) but who also can endure the high heat and physical stress required to perform the job of tool-and-die welding on a daily basis.
