Metrode Nimrod-182 description: These weld metals have no directly equivalent parent material, although the composition is related to Inconel™ 600. Mn and Nb are added to give high resistance to hot cracking, tolerance to dilution by many combinations of nickel-base and ferrous alloys, with stable properties over a wide range of service temperatures from –269°C to above 900°C. Applications include heat-resisting nickel-base alloys to themselves for use in furnace equipment up to about 900°C. Other applications include: Mixed welds between most nickel-base alloys, including Monel 400 and stainless, low alloy or CMn steels without need to preheat.
