OVERVIEW

Premium Inconel 182 Welding Electrodes for Industrial Fabrication

Josef Gas provides high-quality welding consumables designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industry. Our ENiCrFe-3 (Inconel 182) coated electrodes are the go-to solution for maintenance, repair, and fabrication professionals requiring reliable nickel-alloy welds. This 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter electrode is packaged in a durable 10lb can, ensuring the flux coating remains dry and ready for critical applications right off the shelf.

The ENiCrFe-3 classification is specifically engineered for joining nickel-chromium-iron alloys (like Inconel 600) to themselves, or for joining these alloys to carbon steel. It is also one of the most trusted consumables for dissimilar metal welding, such as joining stainless steel to carbon steel or nickel alloys to steel. The versatility of this electrode makes it an essential inventory item for job shops and industrial maintenance teams dealing with heat exchangers, furnace components, and piping systems.

At Josef Gas, we understand that weld quality is non-negotiable. These electrodes are manufactured to strict standards to ensure consistent burn-off, minimal spatter, and excellent bead appearance. Whether you are performing overlay cladding on steel to improve corrosion resistance or repairing high-temperature equipment, these rods deliver the performance you need. We stock these specialty electrodes to ensure you have access to the right filler metal when your project demands it, backed by our commitment to service and logistics excellence.

Key Benefits for Josef Gas Customers:

  • Versatility: One rod solves multiple joining problems, reducing inventory complexity.
  • Packaging: 10lb cans are perfectly sized for medium jobs, reducing waste compared to bulk drums.
  • Availability: Sourced to ensure consistent supply for your ongoing projects.

FAQ

ENiCrFe-3 (Inconel 182) is primarily used for welding nickel-chromium-iron alloys to themselves and for dissimilar welding, such as joining stainless steel to carbon steel.

This electrode is designed to run on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as DC+.

This specific SKU is a 10lb can. Please check our catalog or contact sales for other packaging options like 5lb tubes if available.

Yes, like most high-quality basic coated electrodes, nickel alloy rods should be stored in a dry environment. If opened, holding them in a rod oven at 250°F-300°F is recommended to prevent porosity.

While nickel rods are often used for cast iron, ENiCrFe-3 is optimized for Inconel and dissimilar steel joining. For pure cast iron repair, ENi-CI (Nickel 99) or ENiFe-CI (Nickel 55) are usually preferred.

This electrode is 1/8 inch (3.2mm) in diameter.

Yes, Josef Gas offers delivery for welding consumables and gases within our designated service areas in Ontario and Quebec.

Manganese (5-9.5%) is added to suppress hot cracking, which is a common risk when welding nickel alloys or creating dissimilar joints with iron dilution.
