NI-ROD 99 Welding Electrodeis a premium quality consumable for cast iron,offering true out-of-position welding capability with an ease of operation rivalling carbon steel electrodes. 99 Electrode has a commercially pure nickel core, and is recommended forwelding thin cast iron sections and for where optimum machinability of single-pass orsingle-layer weldments is required. NI-ROD 99 Welding Electrode is used for joining gray iron, ductile iron, compactedgraphite iron, malleable iron and various alloyed irons to themselves, to each other, to steels,to stainless steels, and to nickel alloys. The electrodes provide excellent operability for groove and fillet welding in the down hand position and the smaller diameter electrodes are also suitable for all position welding.
