WIRES FLUX CORED
NICORE® 55
5
Nicore 55 is a composite flux cored wire depositing an Iron / Nickel weld metal for
the welding of cast irons.
Nicore 55 is also suitable for the fillet and butt welding of grey, malleable and
SG irons to mild steel. The thin slag produced with Nicore 55 requires only wire
brushing for complete removal to reveal a weld deposit with excellent appearance
and minimal spatter.
Nicore 55 is ideal for use where an ENiFe-CI type manual arc electrode is
recommended. Typical applications include the repair of cracked or damaged
castings and the filling of foundry defects.

SHIELD-COR 4XP
Shield-Cor 4XP is a self shielded flux cored welding wire designed for the high
deposition rate fillet and butt welding of mild and medium strength steels in all
downhand ( primarily flat and horizontal-vertical ) welding positions.
It has excellent operator appeal and produces a soft, spray arc transfer with a full
covering easily removed slag. The soft arc characteristics of Shield-Cor 4XP give it
improved tolerance to joint misalignment or joints with poor fit-up. Shield-Cor 4XP
desulphurises the weld deposit thereby giving improved resistance to weld metal
cracking.
Shield-Cor 4XP is designed to produce very high deposition rates when used with a
long electrode stickout and DC electrode positive polarity only. It produces its own
protective shielding gas and is therefore recommended for ‘on-site’ fabrication,
structural or repair welding applications.
Typical applications include general fabrication and structural welding, field
erection work and the outdoor repair of heavy machines and equipment.
