Filler Metal, Ni 99, 1/16, Nickel & Nickel Alloys, 1 lb, TIG

XTRweld Nickel 99 is ideal for TIG and MIG welding of gray iron castings, cast iron, and for joining cast iron to mild steels, stainless steel alloys, and some copper alloys. It is also suitable for overlay and build-up applications, providing exceptional performance even in challenging environments. Due to its high nickel content, the resulting welds are readily machinable, making them ideal for precision work. However, be aware that dilution from the casting material can influence the mechanical properties of the weld. Important: A preheat and inter-pass temperature of at least 350°F (175°C) is required when welding on cast iron to minimize the risk of cracking during and after cooling.

• Suitable for welding gray iron castings, cast iron, and joining cast iron to mild steels, stainless steel alloys, and certain copper alloys.
• The welds are highly machinable, allowing for drilling, tapping, milling, and other machining processes.
• Conveniently packaged for use in TIG welding applications with a 1 lb spool and 1/16" diameter.
• A preheat and inter-pass temperature of 350°F (175°C) is necessary to avoid cracking during cooling, especially on cast iron.
