Postalloy® 2953-SA
Postalloy 2953-SA is an iron base alloy that deposits weld metal similar in composition and heat treatment to H-12 tool steel. Weld deposits are hard and tough, resistant to abrasion, metal-to-metal wear and high compressive loading. Retains hardness at elevated temperatures. The
deposit can be applied crack-free when proper welding procedures are followed.
