• Product Type
• Cast iron welding electrode, graphite-coated, for AC and DC welding.
• Classification
• AWS A5.15: ENi‑Cl – high-nickel stick electrode.
• Core Composition
• Typically ~97% nickel deposit, manganese ~0.3%, sulfur ~0.006%, balance iron.
• Weld Deposit Properties
• Yield Strength ~200 MPa; Tensile Strength ~400 MPa; hardness 150–170 HV30 (approx. HRB 60–70).
• Produces soft, smooth arc, low penetration, minimal spatter, and excellent wetting.
• Applications
• Ideal for repair/build-up of grey, malleable, austenitic, and some meehanite cast irons, and for welding certain cast irons to steel.
• Electrode Specs
• Diameter: 3.2 mm
• Length: ~350 mm
• Pack Weight: 2.5 kg (~37 rods per kg, ~92 total)
• Welding Parameters
• Current Range: 50–100 A DC+ or AC (machine OCV ≥45 V recommended)
• Useability
• Easy to strike; smooth arc control and clean slag. Wetting ensures regular bead contour & visually appealing welds.
• Post-Weld Benefits
• Produces a fully machinable nickel deposit, ideal for rebuilds requiring finish machining.
