how to choose electrode for welding_aws e7018 h4r

        Cast iron welding rod is a welding rod used for cast iron, characterized by high strength and good plasticity. It is suitable for gray cast iron and ductile iron, and can be machined.
        Cast iron is usually classified according to the distribution of carbon in cast iron, and can generally be divided into white cast iron, gray cast iron, ductile cast iron, vermicular cast iron and malleable cast iron. Due to the high carbon content, uneven structure, low plasticity and poor weldability of cast iron, it is very easy to produce defects such as white cast iron, cracks and pores during welding. Special attention should be paid to the selection of welding process and welding materials during welding. For welding rod arc welding, it can basically be divided into two categories, one is the homogeneous weld type, namely cast iron type; the other is the heterogeneous weld type such as: steel (carbon steel or alloy structural steel, etc.), pure Ni (pure nickel 308), Ni-Fe (nickel iron 408), Ni-Cu (nickel copper 508), Ni-Fe-Cu, Fe-Cu, etc. When selecting welding rods, you can choose according to different cast iron materials, different cutting requirements, different service conditions and importance, different structural characteristics, stiffness, etc.

Moreover, expertise goes beyond just familiarity with products. A credible supplier should possess comprehensive knowledge not only of their product line but also of how these products perform under different conditions. This includes understanding tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and specific applications that require particular electrode compositions. They should be able to advise on the most suitable electrodes for distinct materials, whether it be carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, ensuring optimal weld quality and strength.
