Description

Cigweld WeldSkill Cast2Steel 2.5mm Electrode – 1kg

The Cigweld WeldSkill Cast2Steel 2.5mm Electrode – 1kg is a Nickel/Iron electrode specially designed for the repair and maintenance of Spheroidal Graphite (S.G.) irons, meehanites, grey cast irons, and austenitic cast irons. Featuring a graphite-coated flux, it ensures a soft, stable arc with minimal spatter, providing precise welds with easy operation. Its high tolerance for metal contaminants, such as oil and dirt, makes it ideal for maintenance tasks in challenging conditions.

The Nickel/Iron weld deposit offers superior ductility and machinability, making it the perfect choice for joining cast iron to steel. It also provides high strength, ensuring durability when welding S.G. irons. For improved surface finish and enhanced joint strength, Cast2Steel can be used for root and fill passes, followed by Castcraft 100 capping passes.

Procedure for Welding Oil-Contaminated Cast Iron:

When welding oil-impregnated cast iron, it is recommended to use an increased arc length of 6mm to reduce porosity in the weld. For heavily contaminated components, preheating the metal to 200°C will further reduce porosity and improve weld quality.

Key Features:

  • Maintenance welding of S.G., austenitic, and grey cast irons
  • Joins cast iron to steel with a strong, machinable Nickel/Iron deposit
  • Graphite-coated flux for stable arc performance and minimal spatter
  • Tolerant to contaminants like oil and dirt for challenging repairs
  • Easy starting and smooth operation on 240V portable welding machines

Specifications:

  • Core Wire Composition: 55% Nickel, 45% Iron
  • Tensile Strength: 500 MPa
  • Hardness: 220 HV30
  • Standard Compliance: AWS/ASME-SFA A5.15 (ENiFe-CI)

Applications:

  • Repair and maintenance of S.G. cast irons, meehanites, and grey cast irons
  • Joining cast iron to steel components
  • Welding of contaminated or oil-impregnated cast iron
  • Root and fill passes for high-strength joints with Castcraft 100 capping

The Cigweld WeldSkill Cast2Steel 2.5mm Electrode – 1kg is the go-to solution for industrial maintenance and repair projects. With its machinable, high-strength weld deposits and superior contaminant tolerance, it ensures reliable performance across a range of challenging applications.
