PHIL-CAST Fe-25

AWS Specification : AWS EST

JIS Specification : DFC Fe

Other Specification :DIN E FeB2

I. APPLICATIONS:

For repairing of cast iron parts where machining is unnecessary.

II. DESCRIPTION:

PHILCAST Fe-25 is a graphite type electrode using mild steel core rod. Its weld metal shows high carbon content. Then it results high hardness, so it is suitable for welding the parts where machining is unnecessary. Its fusibility with case iron is excellent.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

The preheat temperatures vary in accordance with kind, shape and size of base metal. Preheating over 200ºC is appropriate to prevent cracking. Slow cooling is recommended after welding.
