Nickel 55 Cast Iron welding electrode MFG: Weldcote Metals These are all NEW product and not dead or old stock. Electrode Size: 1/8" X 14" length Pkg weight: 1 LB Stock #: TMNI-5502 Weldcote Metlas Nickel 55 is designed for all-position joining and surfacing of cast iron, malleable iron and ductile iron to itself or dissimilar metals such as mild steel, stainless steel, wrought alloys or high nickel alloys. A core wire chemistry of approximately 55% nickel and 45% iron produces weld deposits with much lower weld shrinkage stress which in turn reduces the possibility of weld or heat affected zone cracking. Weldcote Metals Nickel 55 produces high strength, ductile weld deposits even when welding low grade cast iron containing excessive levels of phosphorus or other contaminants. Applications: Especially suited for welding heavy sections such as motor blocks, housings, machine parts, frames, defective castings and building-up worn sections. Weld deposits are machinable and the deposit color will approximate that of cast iron. Amperage range: 80-120 amps AWS Spec: A5.15/ASME SFA 5.15
