DAIKO 187

The CuNi 70-30 consumable is particularly suitable for overlay and cladding operations, provided a buttering layer is created. This is commonly done using alloy 400 or pure nickel. The 70/30 consumables are ideal for welding 70/30, 80/20, and 90/10 base materials. They match the 70/30 base materials in terms of strength and color, and allow for overmatched welding on 90/10 alloys for optimal strength. This material is widely used in offshore constructions, desalination plants, evaporators, condensers, and systems for treating saline and marine water. No preheat is required, and the maximum interpass temperature is 150°C, with no need for PWHT. It is crucial to avoid contamination in the weld area with foreign materials, particularly sources of lead, tin, or zinc, to prevent cracking in the weld metal.
