Abrafonte Fe

Basic special electrode for welding cast iron

Product description

Special iron-based electrode recommended for economical repair of soiled cast irons, in the presence of slag or oil, or for “burnt” used cast irons (furnace parts, boiler burners, pumps, etc.).

 

Excellent weldability on all grades of cast iron. Grinding deposit.

 

For repairs on very large welded joints (>a few passes), we recommend alternating passes with a Fonte-Ni electrode to obtain an elastic joint.

Product application instructions

Use only dry electrodes. Electrode steaming 2 h/250°C. Weld alternating small beads at low welding intensity.

Why choose this basic electrode?

Vacuum-packed 5 or 6Kg electrode for welding highly stressed steel assemblies (carbon and carbon manganese) (tensile strength up to 510 MPa).

It features excellent mechanical properties, particularly at low temperatures.
