Form: This specification covers a nickel alloy in the form of wire@ rod@ strip@ foil@ and powder and a viscous mixture (paste) of the powder in a suitable binder. Application: This filler metal has been used typically for joining corrosion and heat resistant steels and alloys requiring corrosion and oxidation resistant joints with good strength at elevated temperatures are required. Also may be used as a corrosion and oxidation resistant hard coating.
