Frequently Asked Questions

1

How should I start when choosing welding rod for cast iron?

Start by identifying the type of cast iron (gray, ductile, or forgeable) and the desired properties of the weld, such as machinability or high-strength requirements.

2

Why is baking required for these electrodes?

Baking at 150°C for 1 hour removes moisture from the coating, which prevents hydrogen-induced cracking and ensures a stable arc during welding.

3

Can these rods be used for non-iron materials?

Yes, certain nickel-core rods are highly effective for joining cast iron to other iron or non-iron materials, making them ideal for composite repairs.

4

How do I avoid cracks during cold welding?

Avoid using high current to reduce impurity penetration. We recommend hammering the weld bead immediately after deposition to relieve stress.

5

What is the difference between pure Ni and NiFe rods?

Pure Nickel (Ni) rods offer superior ductility and machinability, while Nickel-Iron (NiFe) rods provide higher strength and better compatibility with certain alloy cast irons.

6

How do I ensure the best weld quality?

Follow the recommended baking protocol, use a clean base surface, apply the correct current for the rod diameter, and utilize the hammering technique to avoid cracks.
