a highly alloyed aluminum bronze electrode. The addition of nickel and manganese gives it great versatility in joining and overlays on silicon bronzes, copper alloys, ferrous alloys and cast irons. It is also suitable for joining dissimilar combinations and deposits requiring machinability, such as guides and bearings.
