ELECTRODES FOR TIN-BRONZES AND FOR SURFACING.

IDENTIFICATION
Gemet 701 AC

DESCRIPTION
A special basic coated electrode for welding and surfacing of copper, brass and bronze. Deposited weld metal is free from porosity. The weld bead is smooth uniform and slag is easy to remove.
ALLOY BASIS : Cu, Sn, P

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (RANGE)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Welding tin bronze (Phosphor bronzes)
• Bell metal (Cu + 20 -25% Zn)
• Brasses
• Manganese Bronzes, pump impellers
• For welding copper base alloys to themselves and to steels or cast irons.
• To weld overlays shafts and engineering components to give a bearing surface and or corrosion resistant layer.

PROCEDURE

Prepare large “V” approximately 80 - 90º. Preheat to 300ºC to reduce sluggish behaviour of weld pool.

REDRY : Redry if moist at 250 - 300ºC for 1 -2 hrs.

WELDING CURRENT : AC or DC (+)
