| INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS |
AWS/ASME A 5.15 E Ni-CI
DIN 8573: E Ni BG 11
ISO 1071: E Ni
NFA 81-342: E Ni BG 11
| FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
Very soft machinable welds on all weldable cast irons. Especially suited for welding in deep recesses or close quarters due to the non-conductive flux coating.
- Soft very machinable high nickel cast iron electrode featuring a totally non-conductive flux coating.
- Flux coating does not side arc even after being heated.
- Unusually strong arc drive penetrates oil and grease easily.
- Excellent for vertical up welding.
- Can be ordered in a red/brown flux color as product Code 1840.
- Also available in TIG form as product code 6004.
