Oxford Alloy Nickel 99 is used for shielded-metal-arc welding of gray, ductile, and malleable cast irons. This electrode is also used for joints between cast irons and carbon steel or low-alloy steel. Oxford Alloy Nickel 99 is useful for thin sections and for joints to be machined. The welds are quite machinable. This electrode can be operated in all welding positions. The power supply is direct current; electrode positive is preferred although alternating current can be used
