Iron Clad Nickel Wires
ICN core wires are manufactured by a special cladding process, assuring excellent concentricity between Iron-clad and Nickel-core. Since the electrical and thermal conductivity of the pure components Iron and Nickel are approx. three times higher than those of the NiFe alloy the electrode remains cooler when applying the same energy. this results in the advantage of uninterrupted welding.

Materials:
Core:
Pure Nickel acc. to DIN 17740
Clad:
Low carbon ferretic steel
