EAGLE 180 A High Strength Alloy For Repairs On Cast Iron APPLICATIONS This electrode can be used to weld gray, ductile and nodular cast iron. Excellent for build-up or joining on repairs to engine blocks, housings, sprockets, transmission housings, gear teeth and machine bases. Deposits are fully machinable. PROCEDURE Use AC or DC Reverse [+] Polarity. Prepare and clean weld area. Groove out cracks using the EAGLE 188. Use lowest effective amperage while maintaining a short to medium arc length. Short weld deposits are recommended (1" 1½") using the skip weld method to reduce heat input. Peening while hot will help to reduce stresses. Allow casting to cool slowly. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The EAGLE 180 is a high strength special alloyed core electrode that will produce porosity free welds on all types of cast iron.
