Washington Alloy Nickel 55 SMAW

Process Notes

Washington Alloy Nickel 55 is formulated for versatile joining and surfacing applications involving cast iron, malleable iron, and ductile iron, as well as for dissimilar metals like mild steel, stainless steel, wrought alloys, or high nickel alloys. With a core wire composition of around 55% nickel and 45% iron, it produces weld deposits that exhibit significantly lower weld shrinkage stress, minimizing the risk of cracking in the weld or heat-affected zones. This product generates strong, ductile weld deposits, even when working with low-grade cast iron that contains high levels of phosphorus or other impurities. Washington Alloy Nickel 55 is particularly effective for welding thicker sections, including motor blocks, housings, machine parts, frames, defective castings, and for rebuilding worn areas. The resulting weld deposits can be machined, and their color closely resembles that of cast iron.
