STARBLAZE NIFE CI
AWS A5.15: E NiFe-CI | DIN 8573: E NiFe-1 BG11 | EN ISO 1071: EC NiFe 1
Porosity-Free Welds, Excellent Machinability, Cast Iron to Steel Joining
A graphite basic coated Ferro-Nickel alloy electrode designed for joining and repairing grey, malleable, and nodular cast iron components. StarBlaze NiFe-CI produces a homogeneous, highly machinable weld deposit with excellent crack resistance and porosity-free welds. It is particularly suitable for dissimilar welding between cast iron and steel, as well as the repair and reconstruction of cast iron components such as engine blocks, heavy castings, machine tool housings, gearboxes, pump bodies, and reduction units.
