MOLD & DIE REPAIR MADE EASY
The Rocklin MoldMender Micro Welder uses metallic ribbon, wire, paste or powder to repair molds and dies made of steel.
The Rocklin MoldMender Micro Welder repairs plastic injection molds, rubber processing molds, and die casting molds and dies made of steel. Typical applications are parting lines, corners, edges, pin holes, scratches, machining errors, etc.
The repairs are produced by a low heat, non-arcing micro welding process. This produces a micro weld with the least amount of heat, so shrink lines and other cosmetic defects are eliminated.
Micro welding a mold or die is as easy as placing metallic ribbon, wire, paste, or powder over the area to be repaired. Then simply roll the electrode over the area to permanently bond the welding material to the workpiece. No previous welding or mold and die repair experience is necessary!
