Description:

A general purpose, high nickel electrode for production and repair of cast iron. Conforms to AWS A5.15, ENiCl.

Typical Application:

Building up, joining, filling holes, breaks and cracks in all types of cast iron. It has very good out of position welding characteristics. Parts are frequently repaired without dismantling.

Features:

• Tensile Strength Up to 72,000 psi
• Yield Strength 56,500 psi
• Elongation 5% Close color match
• Excellent machinability
• All position

Procedure:

• Use AC or DC reverse or straight polarity
• Clean the weld area
• Bevel breaks and cracks deep enough so the first pass ties in the bottom of the crack
• In most cases, preheating is not necessary, but heavy sections should be preheated to approximately 400°F
• Use a short arc Stringer beads are recommended
• Skip or backstep weld and peen to relieve stresses
• Allow casting to cool slowly
