Washington Alloy Co. CASCADE 17 ANC

Specifications Arc AC/DC- (Straight Polarity) Welding Positions All-Position Features The non-conductive coating of Cascade 17ANC makes this electrode the primary choice for repairing castings that are in deep holes or out-of-position. Cascade 17 ANC produces porosity-free, non-cracking weld deposits that will match the color of cast iron. When properly used the soft, stable arc will penetrate through dirt and oil. Excellent on cracked or porous thin sections. Description Non-conductive coating cast iron electrode. Applications Cascade 17ANC is similar to Cascade 17A, however a special non-conductive coating eliminates the problem of accidental side arcing when welding through limited access hole or in confined areas. Commonly used for cladding, build-up and joining all grades of cast iron to itself or dissimilar metals such as low alloy and carbon steels, stainless steels, iron, copper, Monel®, etc. Excellent for producing fully machinable weld deposits on engine blocks, pump housings, end bells and other “hard-to-reach” worn or broken parts.
