WELDCLASS WC-06299 ELECTRODES CAST-IRON PLATINUM NIFE 3.2MM 1KG

Popular and versatile NiFe-Cl type cast iron welding rod for high strength, hot or cold welding of; cast iron to itself (incl. grey / malleable,nodular, SG & austenitic cast irons) and cast iron to steel. Machineable weld deposit. Extremely soft, smooth arc with low spatter. Weld metal is stronger and more resistant to solidification cracking than the pure nickel electrode types (such as Ni-Cl). Classification: AWS ENiFe-CL.

• For hot or cold welding of cast to cast, or cast to steel

• High strength

• Available in blister handy-pack or 1kg re-usable pack

• Easy to use & suitable for low OCV (open circuit voltage) welding machines (>45V)

• Recommended for repair and reclamation of all standard grades of grey / malleable, nodular, SG & austenitic cast irons and some grades of meehanite cast iron

• Stronger and more resistant to solidification cracking than the pure nickel electrode types (such as Ni-Cl)

• Fully machinable weld deposits

• Applications include: machine bases, pipes, gear teeth, pump bodies, heavy machine sections, flanges and pulleys

• Suitable for hot or cold welding (with or without preheating). Note that preheating and postheating is recommended for best results, see Cast-iron welding guide for more details

• Polarity: AC ± or DC ± (electrode + or -)

• Typical current range 3.2mm: 60-100A

• Minimum recommended OCV (open circuit voltage): 45V

• Ensure base material is clean.

• Use low current & keep short arc length.

• If welding restrained parts, use short staggered beads to minimise risk of cracking

• Avoid excessive current (heat) as this will increase risk of cracking

• Classification: AWS ENiFe-CL

• Tensile strength 500 Mpa (N\mm2)

• Composition %: C1.26 Mn0.80 Si0.66 P0.005 S0.003 Ni57.25 FeBal'
