DESCRIPTION
Specially-formulated bronze electrode for welding and building up a wide range of ferrous (alloy
steel, cast iron, stainless steel, etc.) and non-ferrous (copper, bronze, brass, etc.) metals.
CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent for parts subjected to compression and corrosion
• Excellent weldability
• Good colour match on bronze
• Smooth, dense and porosity-free deposit
• Excellent machinability
• Stable arc and low spatter
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ideal for dissimilar assemblies. Metal coating, repair of casting defects, bushings, pump rotors, gear
wheels, guides, valve seats, turbines, boat propellers, augers, couplings, etc.
PROCEDURE
Remove any trace of oil, grease and/or dirt from the surface. Gouge the base metal over 3/16’’ (5.0
mm) thick. Preheat copper and copper alloys between 400 - 600ºC (752 – 1112ºF), as applicable,
and use a bigger diameter to maintain the heat in the part. Maintain a short arc with a slight weaving
motion. Cool before removing slag between passes.
