Oerlikon Carborod NiCu description: CARBOROD NiCu is a copper coated ER80S-G type solid TIG welding rod depositing a C-1Mn 0.8Ni 0.4Cu weld metal for welding of weathering steels such as COR-TEN, Patinax, etc. Suitable for use mainly with Ar shielding
gas. CARBOROD NiCu is suitable for welding a range of structural weather resistant steels in applications such as bridge fabrication, exposed frame structures, transmission towers, barriers, ducting, chimneys, shields and inner exhaust systems. Due to the alloying system, CARBOROD NiCu can also be used for welding of high yield strength steels. The addition of Ni and Cu to the weld metal provides increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to conventional C-Mn steels.
