Oxford Alloy Nickel 55 is used for shielded-metal-arc welding of gray, ductile, malleable, and Ni-resist cast irons. This electrode is also used for welding cast irons to various wrought materials, including carbon steels, low-alloy steels, and nickel alloys. Oxford Alloy Nickel 55 is especially useful for welding heavy sections and high-phosphorus irons. The welds are moderately hard and require carbide tipped tools for machining. 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
