ENI-CL 99% NICKEL ELECTRODE AWS A5.15 Welding Positions: All, except vertical down AC & DC± (reverse or straight polarity) INTRODUCTION: Basic graphite-coated stick electrode. Used for welding of cast irons to other cast irons as well as for joining cast irons to mild steels and stainless steels. Cold welding of grey and malleable cast iron. Soft, low spatter arc. A preheat and inter-pass temperature of not less than 350°F is required during welding to prevent cracking. Good slag removal characteristics, low spatter tendency. Graphitic separation of the carbon in the weld metal. Optimum for the repair and maintenance of cast iron APPLICATIONS: Repair and build-up of cast iron parts as auto blocks and heads, cylinder walls, motor exhaust ports, impeller rings, valve sets, cast iron dies, casting; correcting machining errors, joining steels to cast iron, etc. WELDING PARAMETERS: Polarity Welding Position Current (Amps) 3/32” (2.4 mm) 1/8” (3.2 mm) 5/32” (4.0 mm) AC & DC± Flat 70-85 85-110 110-140 Vertical Up & Overhead 65-75 80-90 110-120 CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (%): Chemical Composition C S Mn Requirement ?2.00 ?0.030 ?1.00 Typical test result 1.18 0.007 0.67 Chemical Composition Si Ni Fe Requirement ?2.50 ?90.00 ?8.00 Typical test result 1.38 93.14 3.12 The above parameters are for reference purpose and depend on diverse factors. Run tests, evaluate and set your welding parameters before starting the welding job.
All position, fully machinable cast iron electrode for repairing and cold welding of thin sections of cast iron. High nickel core wire generates a quiet steady arc that is extremely easy to handle even with low open circuit AC voltages starting and restriking without sticking to the work piece has never been so easy,Weld deposit is soft and can be milled, drilled, tapped or machined yet has strength greater than the base metal and the color will match that of cast iron,Excellent for build-up and welding of gray, malleable, and ductile cast iron to itself or for joining these cast iron types to mild and carbon steel, stainless steel, copper alloys and to copper-nickel Monel alloys,Common applications include engine blocks, gear housings, machine bases, defective castings, filling holes, and building up worn or missing sections which will have to be machined,Select your Electrode Diameter and Package Quantity from the Options - Check Picture #3 and Product Description for Welding Parameters. 5 Sticks and 1 Lb packages are shipped using a sealed plastic sleeve. 2.2 Lb package is shipped using the plastic box.
