PHiLARC - The No. 1 Choice of Welders

Nickelarc B

AWS Specification :AWS A5.11 E NiCrFe-4

JIS Specification: NONE

Other Specification:NONE

 

I. APPLICATIONS:

Nickelarc B is designed for shielded metal arc welding of 9% nickel steel such as ASTM A333, A334, A353, A522, AND A553. However is can also be used for joining Incoloy® 800 to itself or to high nickel alloys 200 and 201. For joining Incoloy® 800 to 9% nickel steels or to nickel-copper Monel® 400 and K-500.

     II. DESCRIPTION:

Nickelarc B is a nickel-chromium-iron flux-coated electrode very similar to however PHILARC Nickelarc B offers two distinct features that are not available with Nickelarc B offers a higher yield and tensile strength and it is formulated to operate with AC current, a feature that will allow to combat magnetic arc blow.

    III. NOTES ON USAGE:

  • Preheating is not necessary in general.

  • Avoid the continuous welding if possible. It is effective to weld under 150ºC for reducing cracking tendency.

  • Dry the electrodes at 150 ~ 200ºC for 30 ~ 60 minutes before use.
