N-AL12

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS 5.3-91 E4047
JIS Specification: N/A
Other Specification: N/A

Description

N-AL12 offers the highest strength and is particularly suited to the repair and reclamation of alloy casting defects
Special flux coating provides good arc stability and slag fluidity
Easy removal of surface oxide during welding operation

Application

For the fabrication and repair of aluminum silicon alloys

Remarks

Preheat at 100-300�C is necessary depending on the base metal thickness and mass

Clean and free joint region from any contamination

The rapid electrode "burn of" rate ensures a fast travel speed

During welding, hold the electrode perpendicularly to the work piece and maintain a short arc length

Chill bars are recommended to provide support for the weld metal and avoid the possibility of "burn through"

Store the electrodes in a dry place

Typical data and test results for mechanical properties, deposit, or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
