Stoody 101AP is an open arc hard facing wire formulated to improve out of position horizontal welding when compared to other chrome carbide welding wires.

Stoody 101AP open arc wire is a high chromium carbide iron base tubular wire. Specially formulated to improve out of position horizontal welding when compared to other chrome carbide welding wires. tubular wire. The higher chromium content was specially designed to achieve a minimum of 25% chromium in a two layer weld deposit.

Stoody 101AP was formulated to improve out of position horizontal welding when compared to other chrome carbide welding wires. The unique formulation is recommended for applications subject to severe abrasion. The weld deposit develops a tight cross-checking pattern 3/8″ – 1/2″ (10 mm – 13 mm).

The cracking is sometimes referred to as relief cracking. It can be applied to carbon, low alloy, or manganese steels and can be used in hot wear applications up to 900°F (482°C). Deposits can not be machined or forged.
