AWS/ASME A 5.15 E NiFe-CI
DIN 8573: E NiFe-1 BG13
ISO 1071: E NiFe NFA 81-342: E NiFe BG 13
| FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
The high deposition rate of this electrode creates an extremely narrow heat affected zone. This feature is suitable for all weldable cast irons that require post weld machining.
- One of a kind heavily copper clad “Tri-metal” cored cast iron electrode.
- Visually unique core wire creates immediate customer interest.
- High efficiency weld metal transfer totally eliminates electrode overheating.
- Proprietary copper-nickel-iron deposit chemistry yields the ultimate combination of softness, ductility and tensile strength.
