Nickel 99 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 #: NI9918E1P Weldcote Metals Nickel 99 is recommended for all-position welding of thin cast iron sections where maximum machinability is required. Since the core wire is approximately 99% nickel, weld deposits are basically "soft" and can be shaped, milled, drilled, or tapped, while the color will match that of cast iron. Weldcote Metals 99 is specifically suited for repairing cracked or porous castings and to weld cast iron to itself or dissimiliar metals such as low alloy and carbon steels. Applications: The weld deposits produced by Weldcote Metals Nickel 99 have lower strength and ductility than those of 55% nickel cast iron electrodes. For this reason Washington Alloy 99 should only be used where maximum machinability of highly diluted weld metal is required or where weld stresses are not overly severe such as found in light and medium-sized castings. Common uses include thin plates, machinery parts, frames and housings. Amperage range: 70-110 amps
