Metal-cored electrode

Select-Arc Inc. has introduced a metal-cored electrode designed to weld cast irons that demand in-

creased strength at relatively high temperatures. Select 2216-C is suitable for joining cast irons to alloy and carbon steels.

The electrode features a 41 percent nickel-containing alloy with added stabilizers and yields a uniformly smooth bead with low spatter, good penetration, and nice wash, states the company. The weld metal not only has high tensile strength in the 90,000-PSI range, but also provides 15 percent elongation, which makes it tough and ductile.

While the electrode is used for welding with high-strength nodular or spherical graphite cast irons, it can generally be used with all other cast irons as well as dissimilar joints between cast irons and steels.

Trimmable abrasive flap disk

Weiler Corp. has introduced the Trimmable Tiger Disc™. The operator can trim away the backing of the disk up to ³⁄ 8 in. from the original diameter, exposing more flap abrasive and extending the life of the disk.

The disk is flexible and conforma-

ble. By trimming the backing material away, the operator extends the flap length to access hard-to-reach areas such as right angles and irregular shapes or to grind on-edge without changing tools. In addition, the non-marking backing will not damage the workpiece.

The disk removes stock aggressively while providing excellent finish, the company reports.

There is no need to switch from a Type 27 wheel to a resin fiber disk; users can grind and finish in one step.

Larger Machines with Higher Capacities
Waterjet cutting system

Jet Edge Inc. offers the High Rail Gantry precision waterjet cutting system, which can produce complex parts out of almost any material.

The machine features a stable overhead design that allows full access to the work envelope and raises critical components out of the process environment. Accuracy is 0.005 in. with a repeatability of 0.001 in. over the entire work envelope. It is available in 2-ft. increments from 4 by 4 ft. to 24 by 14 ft. Custom sizes are available, and the system can be expanded in place.

The gantry’s mechanical components are protected by stainless steel enclosures versus traditional bellows. In addition, a filtered blower on each enclosure introduces a constant positive air pressure that helps prevent a negative pressure condition in the enclosure system.
