Welders and Molds

When making a CADWELD connection, an accurate control of the CADWELD process is accomplished by using a semi-permanent graphite mold. Control is exercised over the direction and speed of the molten CADWELD weld metal flow and final shape. The graphite used in a CADWELD mold is a high temperature type that lasts for an average of 50 to 100 CADWELD connections under normal usage.

 Welder Price CAT, CAP and CAN (to the left) are split and use the new Mini E-Z handle. Welder Part No. includes mold frame. Welder Price CAA (to the right) is a solid block with a hold-down handle.

If mold only (less frame) is required, order Welder Part No. "M".

 

Weld Metal

CADWELD weld metal is a mixture of copper oxide and aluminum, packaged by size in plastic tubes. Each tube contains the starting powder at the bottom of the plastic tube, with the weld metal on top. These containers are packaged, with metal disks, in polyethylene boxes. The welding metal cannot ignite spontaneously. They can be handled and stored without danger and can be shipped with no special packaging or marking.

Two types of CADWELD weld metal are used for cathodic protection connections:

  • F-33 alloy is used for all connections of cable to cable and cable to steel or stainless steel pipe. The F-33 weld metal containers have green caps.
  • XF-19 alloy is used for all connections to cast iron. XF-19 weld metal containers have orange caps.

Tools and Materials

SHIM STOCK CAB-140-A

Shim Stock is useful to adapt the conductor when a variety of sizes exist and only a few connections of each one are required.

ADAPTER SLEEVES

Small conductors may be built up to fit the opening of larger size welders using either adapter sleeves pr shim stock.

MOLD CLEANER CAB-126-A

Mold cleaners are useful for removing the slag from CAA molds after making a CADWELD connection.

SHURFIRE CAT-111

Self-igniting propane torch head. Squeeze the control knob for an instant flame. Release, and it's out. No flame adjusting. And the burn tip remains cool during normal use. Operates on its side or upside down. Can withstand 60-MPH winds without flareout. Saves fuel. Safer to use. Fits all standard 14 and 16 oz propane lighters.
