Stoody 101AP open arc wire is a high chromium carbide iron base tubular wire. The higher chromium content aims at a minimum of 25% chromium (as well as a maximum of 0.18 g ASTM G65 weight loss) in a two layer weld deposit. Stoody 101AP was specially formulated to improve out of position horizontal welding when compared to other chrome carbide welding wires. The unique formulation is recommended for application subject to severe abrasion. The weld deposits develop a tight cross-checking pattern (3/8" - 1/2"). 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 900F (428C). Deposits cannot be machined or forged.
An Extensive Family of Repair & Maintenance Products
Today, Stoody is the leader in hardfacing technology and high alloy filler metals. We formulate products that maximize uptime, extend life cycle, and reduce operating costs. The extensive family of Stoody products includes iron, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, chromium, niobium, titanium, and vanadium bearing alloys, as well as a full line of high alloy joining and cladding wires and electrodes.
100 Years of Innovations in Hardfacing
Over 100 years ago, Shelley Stoody and Elder Rice founded Stoody-Rice Welding Co., helping create a whole new industry – Hardfacing . What started with drill bits during the oil boom of the 1920s continued to build through a long history of industry advancements. Stoody's hardfacing innovations continue to shape the industry today.
