Low temperature repairs on all types of cast iron, especially where soft deposits are important. Ideal for repairs on engine blocks, pump housings, machine bases and joining cast iron to steel. An excellent alloy for build-up on cast iron.
Use DC Reverse [+] Polarity. Prepare and clean the weld area. Groove out cracks using the EAGLE 188.
Use lowest effective amperage while maintaining a short to medium arc length. Short weld deposits are recommended (1” – 1½”) using the skip weld method to reduce heat input. Recommended pre-heat is 600° F (315° C) – 900° F (482° C). Peening while hot will help to reduce stresses. Allow casting to cool slowly.
The EAGLE 194 GS is a high nickel, all position wire that produces porosity free soft welds..
