Machinable Cast Iron Electrode, Gemet 504

GEE Limited set up its first welding electrode manufacturing plant in India with through a technical collaboration with a German company in the year 1969. Today, the company’s unmatched expertise in welding technology and metallurgy, driven by in-house R&D and global networking and documentation systems can solve welding problems however intricate they may be. It has now set up two green field plants doubling the production capacity to 13,200 tonnes. These plants, ISO 9001:2000 accredited by Det Norske Veritas, are fully integrated and are equipped with modern machinery and systems for production, packing and dispatch. The company offers Machinable Cast Iron Electrode, Gemet 504. Graphite-coated, basic type electrode for cast iron cold welding, characteristics: Gemet 504 has excellent welding properties. The easily controllable flow permits spatter-free welding in all positions and with minimal amperage. The weld deposit and the transition zones are machinable. Typical applications: cold welding of grey and malleable cast iron, cast steel and for joining these base metals to steel, copper and copper alloys, especially for repair and maintenance. Welding instructions: depending on the wall thickness, the preparation is made in U-or double U-form. The casing skin has to be removed on both sides of the welding area. Hold the electrode vertically with a short arc. To avoid over-heating, the beads should not be longer than 10 times the electrode diameter. Remove the slag immediately after welding and then peen the deposit carefully. Strike arc on the weld deposit and not on the base metal.
