Weld Star – FN 55 (E NiFe-Cl) TIG (2.4mm) 5kg

Description

Weld Star – FN 55 (E NiFe-Cl) TIG (2.4mm) 5kg

Weld Star – FN 55 (E NiFe-Cl) is a ferro-nickel solid wire designed specifically for welding cast iron and ductile iron. It’s an ideal choice for creating dissimilar joints between cast iron, mild steel, low alloy, and stainless steels. This wire is particularly recommended for welding castings with high sulphur, phosphorous, or those contaminated with lubricants. It finds its primary application in repair and fabrication tasks, including the rebuilding of shafts, wheels, and critical joints between steel and cast iron.

Features and Benefits:

• Specialized for Cast Iron: Designed specifically for welding cast iron and ductile iron.
• Versatile Welding: Suitable for dissimilar joints between various metals, including cast iron, mild steel, low alloy, and stainless steels.
• High Contaminant Welding: Recommended for welding castings that have high sulphur, phosphorous, or are contaminated with lubricants.
• Repair and Fabrication: Ideal for a range of repair and fabrication applications, ensuring strong and durable welds.

Common Applications:

• Shaft Rebuilding: Used for rebuilding worn-out or damaged shafts.
• Wheel Repair: Ideal for mending damaged wheels.
• Critical Joints: Used for creating strong and durable joints, especially between steel and cast iron.
• High Contaminant Castings: Suitable for welding castings with high levels of contaminants.
