Reply:All nickel alloys are expensive.  Not many shops are doing  regular repairs to castings.  Consider that you would be paying over 10 dollars a pound for the wire so it would be a major investment in a 40 pound roll.  At today's prices my guess it would be up around 600 to 700 dollars.  I have seen aluminum bronze alloy wire layed down on worn casting surfaces before machining.  Again it is very expensive wire.  Aluminum bronze is a superior bearing surface.
Reply:I looked into it, but it was about $900 a roll.  Probably more than a lifetime supply for me. naaa.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
