Cast Iron Electrodes

Description

Electrode having a pure nickel core wire for welding cast iron without or with low preheating (max. 300°C).

• Suitable for welding cast iron with lamellar graphite, white and black heart malleable and nodular cast iron.
• Used also for repair welding of cracked cast iron parts or joining components made of steel, copper or nickel materials to cast irons. Weld metal is machinable.
• Provides easy arc striking and restriking, stable arc and smooth bead surface. Weld short beads, about 30 to 50 mm long. In order to reduce weld residual stresses, hammer-peen welds slightly before cooling.
• Preferably used with DCEP but possible to use also with AC.
