Nickel- alloy bare wire is used for GMAW, GTAW.
Principal Applications:
Welding of steels with similar chemical composition as well as dissimilar materials of nickel base alloys, steels, and stainless steels. Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion, thus, it is often used for cladding.
