Core-Cast 8600 is excellent for repair welding on highway vehicles,farm machinery,construction equipment,mining equipment and machine tools. Can be used for joining cast iron to mild steel,repairing damaged castings and overlaying of worn areas on castings,molds and pumps.

Procedure

• For best results,set wire amperage and adjust voltage for smoothest operation.Use 98% Argon 2% Oxygen shielding gas. Wire will also operate in the short circuiting mode or with pulse arc,and under these conditions,may be usable out-of-position.Observe the usual precautions on preheat,joint preparation,and welding technique used with other cast iron welding processes.Light peening of each bead will reduce internal stresses and minimize cracking tendencies.
