Description TAURUS Ni 98 is a pure nickel electrode which is universally used for welding all types of cast iron. Specially designed to operate at low currents which minimises heat input and thus facilitates the cold welding of cast iron. Weld-induced stresses can be reduced by hammer peening. Stable arc with clean bead appearance. The weld metal is fully machinable.
