QuNi24 is a corrosion- and heat-resistant laser welding wire of the nickel-base superalloy Inconel 625 (base material 2.4856 / Alloy 625, UNS N06625; filler metal 2.4831 / ERNiCrMo-3 / EN ISO 18274 S Ni 6625). This NiCrMo alloy combines high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion with elevated-temperature strength up to around 1100 °C and cryogenic toughness down to −196 °C — ideal for the chemical process industry, offshore, exhaust systems and aerospace.Recommended base materials2.4856 — Inconel 625 / Alloy 625 / NiCr22Mo9Nb (primary material)2.4858 — Incoloy 825 (related NiFeCr alloy)1.4529, 1.4539, 1.4876 — high-alloy special stainless steelsJoining ferritic↔austenitic steels, build-up welding on steelTypical applicationsChemical process industry — acid- and media-resistant componentsOffshore and seawater engineeringExhaust and flue-gas systems, hot components up to ~1100 °CAerospaceJoining ferritic↔austenitic steels, build-up welding on steelProperties and advantagesOutstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosionHeat-resistant up to ~1100 °C and tough down to −196 °C; favourable creep valuesStress- and hot-crack safety, high fatigue strength (Mo/Nb in NiCr matrix)All-weld metal: Re 500 N/mm², Rm 760 N/mm², A 35 %; filler metal ERNiCrMo-3Good weldability with low heat input; shielding gas argon 4.6 or betterTIG advantage: For manual repair and joining welds on chemical, offshore and exhaust components with precise heat input.TIG form: for manual repair welding.

QuNi40 is the titanium-alloyed nickel wire: EN ISO 18274 S Ni 2061 (NiTi3) · AWS A5.14 ERNi-1 · filler material no. 2.4155.The 3.3 % titanium is what sets it apart from the pure QuNi29. Titanium binds nitrogen and thus suppresses porosity — precisely what is needed for nickel-to-steel dissimilar joints and for repairs on grey cast iron (GG-GJL), where gases migrate from the base material into the weld pool. For matching pure-nickel joints without such influence, QuNi29 is the simpler alternative.Recommended base materials2.4060, 2.4061, 2.4066, 2.4068Commercial pure nickel grades, LC nickelNickel-clad steelsNickel-to-steel dissimilar jointsCast iron (GG-GJL) — repairs possible to a limited extentTypical applicationsPressure vessel and plant construction, chemical industryNickel-to-steel dissimilar jointsGrey iron repairs (GJL)Food industry, energy sectorProperties and advantagesTi 3.3 % — binds nitrogen, suppresses porositySuitable for nickel-to-steel dissimilar jointsGrey iron repairs possible to a limited extentWeld metal: Re 300 MPa · Rm 450 MPa · A 25 %TIG advantage: For larger seams and build-ups on nickel and cast components.

QuCu80 is the strongest of the three aluminium bronzes: EN ISO 24373 S Cu 6338 (CuMn13Al8Fe3Ni2) · AWS A5.7 ERCuMnNiAl · DIN 8555 MSG 31 GZ 200 · material no. 2.1367. The weld metal reaches 250 HB — Rm 650 MPa.Its home is mould inserts made of Ampco and Ampcoloy bronzes: these highly conductive tooling bronzes are used in die casting and plastic mould making because they dissipate heat quickly — and that is exactly where they crack and wear. Besides build-up and crack welding it suits cladding on cast iron and steel (e.g. drawing tools). Sea-water and cavitation resistant, with good sliding properties.Recommended base materialsCu-Al multi-component bronzesAmpco and Ampcoloy alloys (mould inserts)Cladding on cast iron and steelBuild-ups on grey iron, e.g. drawing toolsTypical applicationsAmpco bronze mould inserts — build-up, crack repair, joiningDrawing tools and build-ups on cast ironComponents under sliding loadSea water and cavitation-loaded componentsProperties and advantages250 HB — the strongest of quada's three aluminium bronzesWeld metal: Re 400 MPa · Rm 650 MPa · A 10 %Sea-water and cavitation resistantGood sliding properties — also for bearing surfacesTIG advantage: For larger build-up areas and cladding.

QuCu82 is the silicon bronze: EN ISO 24373 S Cu 6560 (CuSi3Mn1) · AWS A5.7 ERCuSi-A · material no. 2.1461. With 3 % silicon it is the stronger of quada's two silicon bronzes (80 HB, Rm 390 MPa).Silicon makes the weld pool more fluid and deoxidising — which is why these wires are the easiest entry into copper welding. They join copper, low-alloy copper alloys, brass (CuZn) and silicon bronzes, and can also be used for build-ups on steel and cast iron. Where more ductility is needed, use QuCu84 (Si 1.8 %, A 45 %).Recommended base materialsCopper and low-alloy copper alloysCopper-zinc alloys (brass)Silicon bronzesBuild-ups on unalloyed and low-alloy steels and cast ironTypical applicationsJoint welding on copper and brassBuild-up welding on steel and cast ironRepairs on silicon bronze componentsArt casting and restorationProperties and advantagesSi 3 % — fluid, deoxidising weld metal80 HB, Re 150 MPa · Rm 390 MPa · A 40 %Stronger than QuCu84 (62 HB)Also usable on steel and cast ironTIG advantage: For larger seams and build-up areas.
