Product Catalog
Executive 99 is a nickel alloy designed for welding ductile, malleable and grey cast irons using TIG, MIG and SAW welding processes. This alloy is also used for dissimilar welding of cast irons to low alloy and carbon steels. The high alloy content of Executive 99 produces a machinable weld material in joining and build up applications. A preheat and interpass temperature of 350°F (175°C) minimum is recommended during welding. Executive 99 filler metal is produced using high quality raw materials and tightly controlled chemistry to provide top quality, exceptionally clean wires that deliver the results fabricators demand.
Application and Features
Used to join ordinary gray irons to themselves or to other ferrous and nonferrous materials and to reclaim or repair castings. May also be used on malleable or ductile iron. Should only be used in applications where maximum machinability of highly diluted filler metal is necessary. This wire is extensively employed to repair gray iron castings.
This wire is also suitable for laser welding and WAAM applications (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, aka Metal 3D printing).
