NI-ROD 55X NI-ROD 55X Welding Electrode

NI-ROD 55X Welding Electrode 

 

NI-ROD 55X Welding Electrode is a premium quality consumable for cast iron, offering true out-of oposition welding capability with an ease of operation rivalling carbon steel electrode. 55X Electrode has a nickel-iron core wire to produce strong welds with low residual shrinhage stresses, and is well suited for welding thick sections. It has high tolerance for phosphorus and other contaminants in the base metal, so high strength, good ductile welds can be made in low-grade cast irons.

 

NI-ROD 55X Welding Electrode is used for joining gray iron, ductie iron, compacted graphite iron, malleable iron and various alloyed irons to themselves, to each other, to steels, to stainless steels, and to nickel alloys.

 

The eletrodes provide excellent operability for groove and fillet welding in the downhand position and the smaller diameter electrodes are also suitable for all position welding. Power supply: direct current, electrode positive.
