MAGMAWELD ENi55 - Cast Iron Nickel 3.2mm Stick Electrodes - 2.5kg Pack

Hampdon Industrial stocks the premium range of Magmaweld Cast Iron Nickel Welding Electrodes. The ENi55 is a 55% Nickel electrode. The lower Nickel content makes this electrode more economical than 99Ni and easier to machine. It is often used for repairing castings with heavy or thick sections. When compared to Ni99i, welds made with 55 Ni are more ductile, and more tolerant of phosphorous in the casting. It also has a lower coefficient of expansion than Ni99, resulting in fewer fusion line cracks.

Properties and Applications:

Electrode having a pure nickel core wire for welding cast iron without or with low preheating (max. 300°C). Suitable for welding cast iron with lamellar graphite, white and black heart malleable and nodular cast iron. Used also for repair welding of cracked cast iron parts or joining components made of steel, copper or nickel materials to cast irons.  Weld metal is machinable. Provides easy arc striking and restriking, stable arc and smooth bead surface. Weld short beads, about 30 to 50 mm long. In order to reduce weld residual stresses, hammer peen welds slightly before cooling. Preferably used with DCEP but possible to use also with AC.

Welding Position Applications:

• PA - Flat Position: Welding is performed from the upper side of the joint, and the axis of the weld is approximately horizontal.
• PB - Horizontal Position: The welding is done on the horizontal surface, and the axis of the weld is approximately horizontal.
• PC - Vertical Position: Welding is carried out on the vertical surface, and the axis of the weld is approximately vertical.
• PD - Overhead Position: Welding is performed from the underside of the joint, and the axis of the weld is approximately horizontal.
• PE - Horizontal/Vertical Position: This position is a combination of horizontal and vertical welding. The joint can be both in the horizontal and vertical planes.
• PF - 4G Position: This is a groove weld performed on the outside surface of a pipe or cylinder in a fixed vertical.
