Notes of Usages

Electrodes must be dried again at 70°C - 100°C for 30 - 60 minutes before use (only applicable for CI-A1 & CI-A2).
During welding of cast iron, it is not allowed to do matting to prevent thermal stress deformation
Preheating should be done depending on the Ceq of the parent material, a versatile temperature of 100°C - 300°C.
Regardless of the size of the defect to be repaired, the length of the beads should be less than 50mm
