ERNi-CI Tig Rod, ERNi CI Welding Wire, Nickel Alloy 99 Welding MIG & TIG Filler Metal Supplier in India.
ERNi CI, or Nickel Alloy 99 or Alloy NA99 is a nickel alloy filler metal with superior weldability and resistance to cracking. It is used in place of conventional electrodes because it can create high-strength welds with less preheating and less post-weld stress cracking. Shanti Metal is a well-known name in the welding sector with expertise in the production of high-quality welding consumables. Our ERNi CI is used for TIG and MIG welding of cast iron and provides great strength and durability.
Key Properties and Welding Parameters
Key Properties:
High nickel content provides good bonding with cast iron.
Excellent ductility and machinability.
Good corrosion resistance.
Reduces the possibility of porosity and cracking.
Offers excellent weld puddle control for accurate welding.
Welding Parameters:
Applicable for both manual and automatic welding.
Recommended polarity: DC+ for best performance.
Interpass temperature control is important to prevent defects.
Usually requires little preheating and post-weld stress relief.
ERNi-CI vs. ENi-CI – Key Differences and Common Pitfalls
Composition:
ERNi CI is a bare nickel-based filler metal, suitable for TIG and MIG welding.
ENi-CI is a coated electrode used primarily for SMAW (stick welding).
Application:
ERNi CI is ideal for welding cast iron to dissimilar metals, such as stainless steel.
ENi-CI is commonly used for welding grey and ductile cast iron.
Weldability:
ERNi CI provides better ductility and machinability.
ENi-CI may require more preheating and post-weld heat treatment.
Common Pitfalls:
Excessive heat can cause cracking and distortion.
Defects in welding may be caused by improper pre-cleaning of the base material.
Inadequate interpass temperature control can lead to inferior weld integrity.
Applications and Standards Industrial
Automotive Industry: It is employed in the repair of engine blocks, cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds.
Manufacturing & Machinery: ERNi CI is well suited for welding and machine frame, housing, and gear repair.
Oil & Gas Industry: ERNi-Cl is applied to pump housings, valves, and pipeline repair and provides superior corrosion resistance in extreme environments.
-
Power Generation: Used in the repair of turbine casings, boiler parts, and generator housings.
-
General Engineering & Construction: They can be used for structural reparation in bridges, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery.
ERNi CI (WWNA99) is a versatile welding solution for multiple industries, offering excellent weldability, durability, and complies with AWS A5.15 standards for industrial-grade performance.
