Cast Iron

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS

AWS/ASME A 5.15 E NiFe-CI-A ISO 1071: ENiFE


DIN 8573: E NiFe-1 BG23 NFA 81-342: E Ni BG 23

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Universal electrode for joining a wide variety of ductile, nodular and malleable cast irons.
Ideally suited for the repair of meehanite dies.

Non-overheating, hard driving, Ferro-Nickel electrode for penetrating dirty-rusty contaminated


cast irons.
 Excellent for joining cast iron to steel.
 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.
