Abrafonte Fe
Basic coated special electrode for cast iron
Description & applications
Special iron base electrode for repair welding of poor quality, slag or oil containing old cast iron (furnace parts, boxes, heaters, pumps, ...). Smooth arc, deep penetration. Weld deposit can only be machined by grinding. For butt welding it is important to use Fonte-Fe only as initial bonding pass, then take Selectarc Fonte-Ni and Ferro-Ni to fill.
