Manual Metal Arc (MMA)

The electrode is designed to deposit a high strength machineable weld for the joining and building up of cast irons.

Low amperage, smooth arc, minimum spatter and high resistance to cracking. For the repair of grey, SG, nodular or ductile irons where higher strength is required, free from cracks and porosity.

This electrode is also designed for joining cast iron to mild steel. Use with Forgeweld E590 gouging for preparation work.

Manual Metal Arc (MMA)

The electrode is designed to deposit wear resistant overlays on all ferrous metals where high resistance to impact and abrasion is required.

The electrode is all positional with a metal recovery rate of 110%. The welds are non-machinable in the as welded state but can be softened by heat treatment at 720 - 750 deg C.

After machining the welds can be rehardened by oil or water quenching.

Applications include earth moving equipment, scrapper blades, bucket lips and facings, farm implements and any applications subject to impact and abrasions.
