SelectAlloy 2216-C

Nickel Alloy / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Designed to weld high strength grades of nodular cast iron components and for the welding of dissimilar joints between silicon-molybdenum alloyed cast irons and 400 series stainless steel.
  • Nominally ~12 wt% manganese (Mn) addition in a nickel-iron system improves the flow of the molten metal and increased the crack resistance of the weld metal.
  • Applications for this alloy type include cast iron intake manifolds to dissimilar steels found in automotive exhaust systems or general repair welding of cast iron parts.
  • Metal cored benefits include the ability to successfully bridge gaps when part fit up is not as designed, higher travel speeds with subsequent lower heat inputs at equal amperages, and ability to join thin materials.
