EST CI, Contaminated Cast Iron Electrode, 1/8 in x 1 Pound

Nomacast non-machinable cast iron specialty welding electrodes feature a non-conductive coating that is specially developed for welding dirty, heat-affected and oxidized cast iron. Ideally suited to cladding contaminated casting prior to joining with high nickel alloys. Non-machinable. Typical applications include machine bases, pedestals, frames and housings where heat and machinability are not an important factor.
