						Description and Applications | 
					
					
						| 
						 
						
						HC55 is a graphite type electrode for repairing various 
						cast iron products.  Ability to weld is excellent, the 
						beaded appearance is beautiful, and slag is easily 
						detached. As the coefficient of thermal expansion of the 
						weld metal is about the same as that of cast iron, weld 
						metal is easily machined, and the mechanical properties 
						and crack resistibility of the weld metal are good.  |

						Guideline in Usage 
						 | 
					
					
						
						
							
								| 
								1. | 
								Remove 
								dirt from the weld metal. | 
							 
							
								| 
								2. | 
								
								Deposit 
								short run and give hot peening at each bead. | 
							 
							
								| 
								3. | 
								The 
								length of one bead should be about 50 mm maximum 
								to prevent overheating, distortion and cracking. 
								Stringer welding is recommended. | 
							 
							
								| 
								4. | 
								
								Electrode should be re-dried at 80∼120℃ for 60 
								minutes before use. |
