Frequently asked questions

What is this electrode for?

It is a cast iron MMA electrode with a pure nickel (Ni) core wire, dedicated to cold welding grey and malleable cast iron. It is also used for joining cast iron to steel.

What sizes are available?

It comes in 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4.0mm diameters, supplied in 1kg packs. Select the diameter to suit your material thickness and current.

Can I weld in all positions?

Yes, welding is possible in all positions including vertical down. This gives flexibility on awkward or fixed components.

What is the difference between the Ni and NiFe cast iron electrodes?

This is the pure Ni grade, whereas the NiFe version uses a nickel-iron bimetal core. Both are for cold welding cast iron; the choice depends on your specific repair and machinability needs.

What does cold welding mean here?

It is a low-heat-input approach that helps reduce cracking risk when welding cast iron. This electrode is formulated for that method.
