PHIL-CAST Fe-10

AWS Specification :AWS A5.15 Est

JIS Specification : DFC Fe

Other Specification: DIN 8573:EFeS1

I. APPLICATIONS:

PHIL-CAST Fe-10 is used especially on poorly weldable cast iron such as burnt and bad castings and for buffering the sides of the seam. It is also suited for wear resistant build up on solid castings.

II. DESCRIPTION:

PHIL-CAST Fe-10 is a economical welding electrode for welding cast iron parts when machining is unnecessary. The welded joint can be grinded. It has good color matching, penetration and excellent weldability.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

Bare the welding zone. With thick-walled workpieces it is advisable to use PA-GR for grooving-out. Select the lowest amperage possible. With short arc guide the electrode steeply, buffer thin passes with PHIL-CAST Fe-10. Weld the filling passes with PHILCAST Ni or PHILCAST Fe-Ni. If the surface of the welded joint must be machinable, it is advisable to weld the cover passes with PHILCAST Ni or PHILCAST Fe-Ni.
