High alloy stainless steel type for welding of unknown
steels, repair of die or tool steels and for joining
dissimilar steels. (Not recommended for cast iron).
Castcraft 55 3.2mm 2.5 kg 611723
For repair and maintenance welding of S.G. cast iron,
meehanite and other cast irons. It produces a higher
strength weld than Castcraft 100.

Table 6-1 Types of Electrodes
6.04 Size of Electrode
The electrode size is determined by the thickness of metals being joined and can also be governed by the type
of welding machine available. Small welding machines will only provide sufficient current (amperage) to run
the smaller size electrodes.
For most work, a 2.5mm electrode will be quite sufficient. A 2.5mm electrode will give just as strong a joint
but may require a few more weld runs to be put down to fill the joint.
For thin sections, it is necessary to use smaller electrodes otherwise the arc may burn holes through the job.
A little practice will soon establish the most suitable electrode for a given application.
6.05 Storage of Electrodes
Always store electrodes in a dry place and in their original containers.
6.06 Electrode Polarity
Electrodes are connected to the Electrode Holder, and the Work Lead is connected to the work piece. Consult
the Electrode manufacturer's information for the correct polarity.
