Description

AMPCO-CORE® 250S is a nickel aluminum bronze metal core wire for use with the Gas Metal Arc Welding process producing sound, pore-free deposits.


AMPCO-CORE® 250S is primarily an overlay filler metal for aluminum bronzes and ferrous materials. The characteristics of this filler metal make a good choice for overlaying components used in bearing applications where very high pressures are encountered operating against hardened steel surfaces.


AMPCO-CORE® 250S is especially suited for marine environments due to its Ni content which increases corrosion resistance in brackish seawater. It also exhibits resistance to cavitation and stress corrosion.

Other

AMPCO-CORE® 250S is available in two diameters: 0.045” (1.2mm) and 0,062” (1.6mm). Both sizes are available in 12″ (300mm) spools weighing 33lb (15 kg) each. Other diameters are available upon request.

Processing methods

Welding position and deposits: Flat position welding is recommended. Backhand (trailing) welding is preferred rather than forehand (pushing) to make either stringer or weaved beads.

Shielding gas: 100% Argon

NB. Higher intensities and voltages can be used but will result in increased element burn-off (particularly Al) and dilution, leading to lower hardness levels. Preheating and working temperatures of up to 300°C are recommended to avoid cracking.
