$751.26/5.70 per pakWhen your forging dies or injection molds start showing signs of heat checking or wear, you need a welding rod that can take the heat. The UTP 73 G 2 is the go-to stick electrode for welders repairing H-13 tool steel. Whether you are building up worn surfaces on a hot shear blade or repairing a cracked die casting mold, this rod deposits high-quality steel that stands up to the punishment of hot working environments.
Welders appreciate the UTP 73 G 2 for its smooth runnability and unique "slag-free" deposition style. Unlike standard stick rods that leave a heavy coating of slag to chip away, this high-efficiency electrode leaves a clean deposit that lets you see your work and move on to the next pass quickly. It runs well on both DC+ and AC, giving you flexibility depending on your machine setup. The 5/32" (4.0mm) diameter is perfect for filling larger voids and building up edges efficiently.
The resulting weld metal is tough, heat-resistant, and hard (approx. 55 HRC), providing excellent resistance to metal-to-metal wear and thermal fatigue. While it is hard enough to last, it can still be machined with carbide tools if you need to reshape the die back to tolerance. Don't scrap expensive tooling—extend its life significantly with UTP 73 G 2.
