Hi-Alloy 460 has a specially formulated core wire and flux coating that
combine to provide a smooth stable arc and dense, porosity free, machinable welds on a
variety of cast irons including ductile, nodular, and malleable irons. It is also commonly
used for joining cast irons to steel and is especially suited for repairing meehanite dies,
and castings contaminated by oil, grease, rust, dirt, or chemicals.
Hi-Alloy 460 Cast Iron Electrode 1/8″ 10 lb. Box * High strength alloy for contaminated cast iron castings and for welding cast iron to steel. * DC Reverse or AC Polarity * Tensile Strength up to 70,000 psi
