It is a basic-graphite coated electrode without barium, featuring a pure nickel core wire, and does not strike arc from its coating. It is suitable for the cold welding of grey cast iron, malleable cast iron, and cast steels, as well as for repair welding of castings showing signs of fatigue. Specifically designed for welding in deep holes or in applications where the coating may come into contact with the base material. It offers excellent welding performance even at low amperages. Produces a weld metal that is easy to machine and ensures a smooth fusion with the base material. It is used for the repair of engine blocks, machine tool frames, gearboxes, reduction parts, valve and pump housings.
