Can ductile iron be welded? Is weldability comparable to gray iron?

Can ductile iron be welded? Is weldability comparable to gray iron?

Answer:

The tensile strength of more than or equal to 70000 PSI (more than 482 n / mm2) yield strength: General 62000 (more than 427 n / mm2)Hardness (HB): 185HBWith the parent material color: similar power options: AC and DC dual-use, DC DC reverse connection
Suitable for the full range of cold welding welding, welding cast iron base material can almost all, and it is easy to achieve cast iron and carbon steel dissimilar metal welding, such as solving matrix fracture, crack, wear, hole filling defects after welding can be machined, many applications in the engine casing, cylinder head, casting machine, gear base the tooth of iron castings.
Nodular cast iron welding can be determined, this should be in some high strength cast iron equipment used more, the tensile strength of normally ductile cast iron welding in welding is higher, is worse than the grey cast iron, it is actually very difficult to distinguish with the naked eye is ductile iron or cast iron the iron in the repair equipment, we usually use WE777 special cast iron electrode universal wide welding, but it is only for maintenance use, the effect is really good, reducing the risk of cracking and high strength welding rod matching to ensure the strength of welding.
