Ratna Cast FN

Classification
APPLICATIONS
  • Suitable to weld and repair all types of cast Iron components.
  • Broken casting, joining cast iron to steel.
  • Cast iron components subjected to wear and tear etc.
  • Suitable for underplaying of hard facing.
description

A medium coated, ferro-nickel core wire electrodes specially designed to weld cast iron components in cold conditions. The deposit is soft and machinable, retrains strength, enable to weld large cast iron castings, produces crack free joints.

WELDING PRECAUTION
  1. Clean the weld area free of any surface contaminations.
  2. Preheating of the job between 250°C – 500°C may be necessary according to the amount of weld metal to be deposited and the size and type of casting.
  3. After the welding is completely with a layer of asbestos or dry lime until it attains room temperature.
RE-DRY CONDITIONS

Re-dry the electrode at 150°C for 1 hour.
