The Afrox Transcast 55 is an all-position electrode with a bimetal core wire that deposits a nickel-iron alloy weld metal, machinable without difficulty. The weld metal provides a close color match with the casting after machining. The low electrical resistance of the core wire prevents heat build-up in the electrode, ensuring consistent arc and flux characteristics. Specifically developed for strength welding of high-duty cast irons such as alloyed cast iron, Meehanite, and malleable and nodular irons, it is ideal for welding various types of cast irons to each other or to steel. It can also be used for welding high-phosphorus castings and joining sections of grey iron to the same or to ferrous materials, with preheating recommended for optimal results.
