Electrodes - Cast Iron PLATINUM NiFe
Popular and versatile NiFe-Cl type cast iron welding rod for high strength, hot or cold welding of; cast iron to itself (incl. grey / malleable, nodular, SG & austenitic cast irons) and cast iron to steel. Machineable weld deposit. Extremely soft, smooth arc with low spatter. Weld metal is stronger and more resistant to solidification cracking than the pure nickel electrode types (such as Ni-Cl). Classification: AWS ENiFe-CL. Available in blister/handy packs & 1kg re-usable packs, in 3.2mm.
