AWS/ASME A 5.15 E NiFe-CI
DIN 8573: E NiFe -1 BG
ISO 1071: E C NiFE-CI 1
| FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
“Extra Flow” weld metal for rapid repairs.
Universal electrode for joining a wide variety of ductile, nodular and malleable cast irons.
Ideally suited for the repair of defective or cracked malleable iron castings.
- Nickel – iron “Non Conductive” electrode for joining dirty – contaminated cast irons and cast irons to steel.
- Flux coating does not side arc even after being heated.
- Extremely strong arc drive penetrates surface contaminants.
- Special slag composition can be welded over without creating porosity.
- Extra nickel content insures crack resistant machinable welds.
- Also available in TIG form as product code 6044.
