Abrafonte Fe2
Electrode for welding nickel-free cast iron
Product description
Nickel-free, basic-coating electrode, specially used for welding cold cast irons, with a deposit color similar to that of the base metal. Stable arc, good adhesion and fluid bath (good filler metal spread).
Main applications:
repair of casting defects, repair of bridges, used as undercoat before hardfacing on cast irons.
