Product description

Flux-cored wire for arc welding without gas shielding

Developed for the assembly and repair of gray, malleable, nodular or phosphorous cast irons

Also suitable for heterogeneous cast-iron-steel assembly

Suitable for welding solid or heavily flanged parts

Preheating is not required.

The energy input is low, limiting the heat-affected zone.

Why choose this cored wire?

  • Very high resistance to cracking
    ➤ Thanks to its nickel- and cerium-rich composition, the deposit absorbs internal stresses well, preventing cold cracking – a common problem on cast irons.

  • Highly ductile but non-machinable deposit
    ➤ Perfect for structural repairs where machining finishing is not required.

  • Excellent adhesion on contaminated or old cast iron
    ➤ Thanks to refining elements such as cerium, the wire tolerates more impure or oxidized cast iron (aged, greasy, soiled cast iron…).

  • Gas-free process (open arc)
    ➤ Convenient for on-site repairs, even in harsh conditions, without the need for gas protection.

  • Very low dilution with base metal
    ➤ Reduced risk of hardening and cracking in heat-affected areas.
