N-Cu

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.6 ECu
JIS Specification: N/A
Other Specification: N/A

Description

N-Cu is a special electrode used for welding pure copper
Designed for use without preheating and shows deep penetration
Produces high purity copper weld deposits
Corrosion resistant
Excellent electrical conductivity
Perfect color to match with copper

Application

Welding of pure copper
Suitable for repairing welding of the parts that requires electric conductivity, such as repairing welding of electrode holder, flange, etc.
Commonly used to overlay steel or to join heavier sections of copper to steel

Remarks

Preheat thicker sections to 400 - 600�C

Use a larger electrode for thicker sections and maintain a short arc

Stress and distortion can be avoided by peening each deposit between passes

Allow the part to cool slowly before removing slag with a chipping hammer and wire brush
