WELD METAL-CAST 55 (Machinable)

WELD METAL-CAST 55 is an electrode specially for the repair and maintenance work of cast iron. The deposit remains ductile, soft, and easily machinable, and it retains adequate strength. Suitable for joining and repair of ferric and pearlitic high-strength spheroidical graphite-type cast irons. Also used to cast iron into steel.

WELD METAL-CAST 55 welding of all types of cast iron and steels, joining of cast iron to steels, filling the deep cavities in castings, it can be used on high sulfur and high phosphorous castings.

Use low-current, smallest-possible-size electrodes and lay small beads to avoid overheating. Peen the weld beads to reduce welding stress. Cooling the welded piece slowly under the insulation. For the best result, preheat the job to 300°C.
