Elecu® BCuNi

General description

Base electrode NiCu  for welding alloys of similar composition with Ni below 30%, as well as for deposit of final layer CuNi70/30 on multi-layer steel. Weld metal shall be resistant to sea water. Electrode is suitable for all positions, except vertical down, easy slag release. Main application: in shipbuilding, oil refineries, press installations.

Current type

DC electr. +

Application advice

Annealing for 2h at 200-250оС. Joints before welding must be clean from oil and cracks.

Welding must be with a short arc and without high power.
