Premium FeNi

• Reduces welding stresses
• Ideal for filling up deep cavities in casting
• Also, can be used on high sulphur and phosphorous casting

Classification :

Approvals : AWS/A5.15 : E Ni Fe-CI

Description :

An electrode with Ferro-Nickel core wire designed to produce a higher, matching strength weld metal for joining malleable, nodular and S.G. iron. It is also suitable for joining these to mild, low alloy and stainless steels. The weld metal has good ductility and machineability. The electrode is less sensitive to hot cracking sometimes caused by impurities in castings, compared to pure nickel type electrodes.

Applications :

• Welding of all types of cast irons.
• Joining of cast iron to steels.
• Can be used on high Sulphur/Phosphorous castings.
• Machine bases, transmission housings, gear boxes, engine blocks, pump bodies etc.

Chemical Composition of Weld Al (wt.%)

Mechanical Properties of Weld Metal :

Current Conditions : AC / DC ( - )

Welding Positions : F, H, V-up

Recommendations :

• Use low currents, smallest possible size of electrode and lay small beads to avoid over heating.
• Peen the weld heads whilst warm to reduce welding stresses.
• Cool the welded part slowly under insulation.
• Thicker sections may require preheat of approx. 150^oC - 300^oC for best results.
