Washington Alloy Co. CASCADE 17A

Specifications Arc AC/DC Features Cascade 17A is an all-position electrode which produces porosity-free, non-cracking weld deposits that will match the color of cast iron. When properly used, the arc will penetrate through dirt and oil as well as over slag. Description Fully-machinable cast iron electrode for repair welding of thin sections. Applications Cascade 17A is a high nickel electrode used for cladding, buildup and joining all grades of cast iron to itself or dissimilar metals such as low alloy and carbon steels, stainless steels, iron, copper, MonelÒ , etc. Excellent for repairing and “cold welding” cracked or porous thin sections where maximum machinability of the weld deposit is required. Common uses include engine blocks, machinery parts, frames, gears and pulleys.
