Alloy Description And Application,
Nickel-Aluminum Bronze filler metal is used
for MIG and TIG welding of cast and wrought nickel-aluminum bronze parts such as ship
propellers, where high resistance to corrosion, erosion and cavitations in salt or brackish water
is required. Nickel-Aluminum Bronze is a very popular filler metal in offshore technology for
such items as sea-water desalting, shipbuilding and repair. Also used in the power plant and
chemical industry for pumps and tube systems. Helium may be preferred when TIG welding on
Al-bronzes that has 300°F maximum interpass recommendations.
