CAST IRON ELECTRODES

Description

Applications

Typical Mechanical Properties of weld metal

Cast-alloy 99
Suitable for all position welding of thin section where maximum machinability is required. Since the core wire is + 99% Nickel, weld deposits are soft, can be shapped, milled, drilled or tapped with colour matching of parent metal.
  • Repairing cracked or proous castings
  • Joining low alloy & carbon steels with C.I.
  • Thin Plate
  • Light Machinery Parts
  • Light Frames & Housings.
  • Engine blocks (water jacket)

Cast-alloy 55

Suitable for all position joining of Cast Iron, Malleable Iron ^ ductile iron to M.S.S.S., high Nickel alloys or itself. Since the core wire is 55% Ni-45% Fe, which produce weld deposit with much lower weld shrinkage stress and hence reduce cracking.
  • Differential housings
  • Machine Components
  • Glass moulds & dies
  • Heavy Housings & Frames
  • Heavy Machine Parts
  • Sugar Mills Rolls

Cast-alloy EST
Suitable for repairing of various cast irons where machining is not required & where weld shrinkage is of no concern. Since core wire is of steel, the strenght of weld deposit will be hihger. This is most economical base electrode, does not contain nickel, hence useful for repair of castings, machine parts where machining is not required.
