Alloy 5000 Electrode 1/8 5 lb Blue Demon

  

5000 rod can be used to weld a variety of ductile, nodular and malleable cast irons to themselves or for joining cast irons to steel. It produces a dense, moderately hard, crack-resistant weld that requires carbidetipped tools for machining.

This electrode is recommended when the post weld deposit does not need machining. Containing approximately 60% nickel, this rod is ideally suited for the repair of meehanite dies. Note, the flux coating on this rod does NOT contain barium, reducing hazardous fumes. (As Welded) Yield Strength, ksi 49 Tensile Strength, ksi 70 Elongation%, min 20 Brinell hardness. Rockwell B hardness 88 - 90.
