Description & Applications

Special rutile cellulosic mild steel electrode to weld in all positions, including vertical down. Good
operability, easy striking , strong arc with low spatters, good penetration and easy slag removal- suitable
for current supplies with low open arc voltage. Less sensitive when used on poor prepared pieces (oil,
grease, oxides).
Main applications: In metal constructions, for piping systems, tanks, blacksmithing, craft works.

ISO 1071
: E C NiFe-1 3
DIN 8573
E NiFe-1 BG 13

Graphite-basic coating with a copper coated core wire and a Ferro-Nickel alloy deposit (55%Ni - 45%Fe)
for welding and repairing of nodular cast iron. Particularly recommended for steels/cast iron or pipe to
flange welding in cast iron. Good wash-in and flow of the weld metal. Principal advantage of this
electrode : exceptional resistance against overheating during welding due to the copper plated core wire.
Exceptional welding characteristics.
Main application: For foundry defects, repairing of engine blocks, frame of tool machines, gearboxes,
reducing pieces, pump bodies, valve bodies.

Weld on clean and exempt from grease surfaces (previous grinding of the joint).Reduce the heat input to
a minimum, weld with the lowest practical amperage, keep temperature low ( < 100C) in order to reduce
the risk of cracks in the base metal, depose short beads of about 6 cm and peen immediately. Reignite

Prepare the casting defect to be repaired, preheat the piece to 550-650C, keep this temperature during
welding, use a current as high as possible, without overheating the electrode. Assure that sufficient base
metal is melted to get a good bonding. When welding over the hot slag dont move to fast with the arc to
avoid trapped slag. After welding a PWHT, 2h at 900C followed by 4h at 700C and slow cooling in the
furnace, insures a colour matching deposit and a regular hardness, even in the heat affected zone.

regular drop transfer, easy to watch weld pool, nice aspect of the weld beads. Very resistant in
sulphurous acid environment, highly concentrated with chlorides and also in the presence of oxidising
solutions ( Fe Cl, Cu Cl ).
Main applications: Welding of Off-shore components, boilers, containers, piping systems in the
chemical and petrochemical industries as well as components of flue gas desulfurizing plants

Basic coated, slag free, hardfacing electrode with high recovery ( 190% ). Highly resistant to abrasion
due to its high content of Cr and C. The service life of surfaced pieces is up to 50 times longer than for
conventional electrodes of similar hardness. Austenitic matrix containing Cr carbides. Deposit 1 or 2
layers maximum. Resists to heavy mineral abrasion and moderate impact. Only machinable by grinding.
Regular trop transfer, no slag, smooth beads. The formation of cracks in the weld deposit is normal for
this type of composition. For all pieces subject to low or moderate impact where an important resistance
to abrasion is searched.
General applications: For endless screws, mixer paddles, pump bodies for abrasive materials,
excavator teeth, crashing of mineral materials, concrete pumps, screws for brick presses, wear plates.
