Cast Iron Welding Electrodes LKE-NiFe-Cl ENiFe-CI, Ni55

▶︎ Characteristics:

LKE-NiFe-CI is a covered electrode with graphite type coating and Fe-Ni alloy core rod. The weld metal provides low expansion coefficient, less hardening and good machining property. It is suitable for ductile cast iron, malleable cast iron and gray cast iron.

 


 

▶︎ Applications:

For repairing of mining equipment, engine blocks, marine equipment and other heavy manufacturing equipment.

 


 

▶︎ Notes on Usage:

1.Hot peening prevent the shrinkage stress.
2.Clean up to prevent contamination.
3.Preheat the base metal at 300℃, PWHT at 500-600 °C.
4.Use small amperage and keep the arc as short as possible
