NI55-G-045-01 Nickel 1 lb Spool .045 Blue Demon
Ni55FC-G is a composite metal cored wire for repair and joining of cast iron materials. The deposit, which is approximately 53% iron and 45% nickel, provides an excellent match for the coefficient of expansion exhibited by cast irons.; Cracking is minimized because thermal stresses caused by the heat of welding are minimized .; The light slag is easily removed enhancing visual weld inspection.; The fact that this is a continuous electrode will improve the operating factor and minimize unnecessary stops and starts.; This electrode can replace covered electrodes such as AWS ENiFe-CI or ENiFe-CI-A. It may be used for repair welds or for joining various types of cast irons.; Cast irons may be welded to steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials with this product.; The machinability of the weld deposit is comparable to the matching covered electrode.Substantial savings in weld metal deposition costs will be realized when replacing 55% nickel coated electrodes with Ni55FC-G. The deposition rate of this wire is more than twice that of a comparable coated electrode.&; The efficiency (approx 97%) compared to that of a coated electrode (56% assuming 3” stub loss) is substantially greater.; These two factors result in substantial savings in weld metal deposition costs.; Because of the high deposition rate, the travel rate is very fast, resulting in lower heat input which is advantageous in welding cast irons.
