This book is not a metallurgist's definitive tool steel chemical composition handbook or a welding engineer's definitive guide. It is a book designed for the shop floor, written from the shop floor, using the 20 years of my experience to convey the most practical ways that I have found for tackling the repair of molds, tools and dies.Mold, tool and die repair welding is a very complicated process, shrouded in mysteries, myths and closely guarded secrets! This is because two very different trades have overlapped - welding and toolmaking.For many years, toolmakers and tool users have had to rely on the small number of specialist welders who do understand exactly what repair welding involves, and who have the hand skills to do it, especially when it comes to welding mold tools.Understanding the technical side of tool steels is a big problem for welders and understanding the practical side of welding is a big problem for machinists. I have tried to write this book so that either will understand it and learn something from it..It is not always necessary to spend a lot of money to get the equipment that lets you do your job properly. Learning how to choose your equipment well is something that comes with experience. If more of us shopped around and insisted on borrowing equipment on approval before purchasing, fewer expensive mistakes would be made. Purchasing and safely setting up suitable equipment is discussed in Chapter 7.The chemical compositions in this book come from many different sources, old and new. Some may, therefore, be incomplete or slightly inaccurate but I have still used them because they contain sufficient information for welding purposes.All the technical and practical information in this book is based on theway that I approach mold, tool and die repair welding, and should not be confused with official tool steel welding procedures.
