Overcoming Challenges in Mild Steel to Cast Iron Welding

Joining dissimilar metals accounts for 38% of industrial welding failures according to 2023 ASTM data. The mild steel to cast iron welding electrode
solves this through advanced nickel-iron matrix composition, achieving 94% first-pass success rates in controlled tests. This specialized consumable addresses differential thermal expansion (12.6 µm/m°C vs 18.7 µm/m°C) through controlled deposition rates.

Technical Advantages of Modern Fusion Solutions

Third-generation electrodes feature:

• Triple-shield flux coating (22% manganese silicate)
• Post-weld machinability (82 HRB maximum)
• Thermal stress reduction technology

Field tests demonstrate 550 MPa tensile strength - 23% improvement over standard nickel electrodes. The welding electrode for cast iron to mild steel maintains stable arc between 85-125 amps DC+.
