DAIKOWT CuSn9

Used for welding various copper-based alloys to themselves, CMn steels, or cast irons, and for repairing and joining castings, this consumable is also suitable for weld surfacing to provide a bearing surface and/or corrosion-resistant overlay on steel components, shafts, etc. Avoiding stainless steels is recommended due to chromium pick-up causing embrittlement. The tin bronze weld metal can be sluggish due to its wide melting range. Preheating to approximately 200°C can enhance fluidity when dealing with thick sections. To prevent hot cracking, it's advisable to maintain the interpass temperature below 200°C. This consumable is also applicable for welding copper materials if the presence of tin in the weld metal is acceptable, such as in copper and tin bronzes, particularly for joining copper-zinc alloys and steels. For multi-layer welding on steel, pulsed arc welding is advised, and it is also suitable for oven soldering.
