Ni or NiFe
Both are suitable for cast iron. Choose the diameter according to the thickness and your machine: 2.5 mm for fine work and small repairs, 3.25 mm when you need more filler. If you have any doubts about the part, contact us before buying.
💡 Vetonek tip: on cast iron, weld in short beads and let the part cool gradually between passes; sudden cooling causes new cracks. Clean the area thoroughly and remove any traces of oil before you start.
