A Cast iron electrode used primarily for the reclamation and repair of casting defects, machining errors, shrinkage cavities, gas blow holes and voids resulting from defect excavation of grey iron castings. The electrode is manufactured using a pure nickel core wire and gives a fully machinable weld, it has been specifically designed to produce a very fluid molten pool with good wetting properties making it particularly suitable for the filing of casting defects. Deposit is free from hard zones, cracks and porosity. Low current requirements. Tensile strength and ductility adequate for cast iron. |
Description
Material Type Alloy Components
High Nickel (Ni)
Weld Deposit Characteristics
A Cast Iron electrode, depositing nickel weld metal. Hardening of heat affected zone is small and machining of the welds is comparatively easy. Therefore, it is suitable for welding alloy cast iron of poor weldability, malleable cast iron and hydraulically pressured parts as well as common cast iron.
Weld Deposit Properties
Recommended Application
Used for repairing cast iron and joining of various kinds of cast iron products such as cylinder covers, motor beds, casings and gears. Repairing of meehanite, alloy and malleable cast iron.

Notes on usage:
Chip off base metal completely at the repairing part. There is a possibility that cracks spreads or makes holes at both ends of repairing part. Keep the weld metal length less than 50mm (2 inch) to disperse welding heat. Adopt back stepping stone or symmetry method by turns. Hot peen in every pass. The preheat temperatures vary in accordance with the size, kind and shape of the base metal.150℃ (302℉) is appropriate in general.
We do hereby certify that; the weld metal deposit, has been tested, mechanically and chemically and all results are comply with the requirements of specifications of Elkadesia for engineering industries and the Specification of ASME II part C SFA 5.01 Class C5 and level of tests in J or 5.
