MAXIMUM STRENGTH ALLOY FOR DIRTY CAST IRON

General Characteristics
Unique flux coating on alloyed core wire produces dense, strong, crack-resistant welds on virtually all types of cast iron. Especially good for contaminated, old, oil-soaked, dirty base metal. Also recommended for joining cast iron to steel. Use on gray, ductile, Meehanite and nodular cast iron. Deposits are machinable.

Applications
Use on machine bases, transmission or gear housings, sprockets, repair of or build-up on gears and any repair of cast iron to steel.

Technical Data
Typical Tensile Strength: up to 60,000 (42 kg/mm2)
Typical Hardness (HB): Brinell 210
Current: AC or DC reverse polarity (electrode +)
Amperage: 70-110
Diameter : 1/8"
3.25mm

Procedure
On heavy sections, remove worn, cracked metal, and bevel joint using the US Forge Cutting rod or a grinding wheel. When repairing cracks, drill “stop” hole at either end to prevent crack travel while welding. Use short stringer beads. Use a short to medium arc length and the lowest amperage possible to minimize base metal overheating. When breaking arc, always back step into weld crater. Weld joints should be allowed to slow cool for maximum strength and machinability.
