Apollo A Arc Rod

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

For joining, build-up and wear surfacing of all low alloy, manganese, medium and high carbon steels.

Features

• High Strength 135,000 psi
• Shock and Abrasion Resistant
• Deposit 185 Brinell (11 RC)
• Work Hardens To 55 RC
• Cuts Easily With A Torch
• Excellent For Manganese Steels
• No Pre-Heat Or Peening
• Good Ductility (30% Elongation)

Quick Specs

• Diameters: 1/8" (120A), 5/32" (160A), 3/16" (200A)
• Use AC or DCEP (±20% of recommended settings)
• Skip weld to avoid localized heat buildup; weave no more than 2-3x rod diameter

Applications

• Superior for metal-to-metal wear under stress, shock, impact or abrasion
• Rails, frogs, crossovers, manganese wear plates, buckets, crushers, hammers, dragline chains and pins
• For more wear resistance, finish passes with Olympia or Zeta hard face alloys
