ELNIKEL - coated electrode with nickel alloy rod.
- Welding and repairing products made of all kinds of cast iron.
- Welding of cast iron with low alloyed and stainless steels, with Monel copper-nickel alloy.
- Stable combustion of the arc, little slag formation and its easy removal.
- The weld metal is well machined.
The electrode is used for cold-welding of products made from grey, ductile and malleable cast iron. It is also used for welding cast iron with low-alloy and stainless steels and with Monel copper-nickel alloy. ELNIKEL is recommended for repairs of foundry defects and also defects after machining cast iron products: cavities, cavities, cavities etc.
When cold-welding and repairing cast iron, the smallest electrode diameter is selected and the process is carried out at the lowest current in order to reduce heat absorption and the width of the heat affected zone. The temperature in between layers should not exceed +100 0C.
Welding is carried out in short passes with mandatory tapping of each weld bead with a hammer in hot state for removal of residual stresses.
When welding thick-walled cast iron products is recommended preheating to +150-300 0C and slow cooling after welding.
