CI Welding Rod

CI welding rod, also known as Cast Iron welding rod, is a type of welding rod specifically designed for welding cast iron. Cast iron is a brittle and difficult material to weld, as it is sensitive to cracking and warping. The use of a CI welding rod is one of the ways to effectively weld this type of metal.

CI welding rods are made from a nickel-based alloy, which is designed to match the thermal expansion properties of cast iron. This allows the welded joint to expand and contract at the same rate as the base metal, reducing the risk of cracking.

The welding process for cast iron is typically performed with a TIG welder, and it requires a high degree of skill and experience. The welder must carefully control the heat input and the cooling rate to prevent cracking and warping.

CI welding rod is often used in the maintenance and repair of cast iron parts in various industries such as the automotive, construction, and the machinery industry. It is important to use the right welding rod to ensure a strong and stable weld.
