Automatic Submerged Wires

Deposit characteristics of Stoody automatic sub-merged-arc alloys are affected by welding proce-dure and submerging flux. The data presentedhere is based on typical deposits made with rec-ommended procedures and proper preheat, inter-pass temperature and post weld cooling of thework piece.

Stoody automatic alloys can be applied with AC orDC welding current. When applied with DC weldingcurrent either straight or reverse polarity may beused with but one exception—DC reverse polarityonly is recommended for Stoody 103. Straightpolarity produces faster deposition speed whilereverse polarity offers smoothest surface appear-ance. Hardnesses obtained with straight polaritywill be slightly higher than those obtained withreverse polarity.

Certain sizes other than those shown are available on special order. Standard package for 7/64" (2.8mm) wire is 60 pound 12" I.D. coil Standard package for 1/8" (3.2 mm) and 5/32" (4.0 mm) wires are 100pound 22 1/2” I.D. coils, 200 pound Halfpaks and 500 pound Payoffpaks. All materials listed are for useon weldable grades of carbon and alloy steels. Stoody 103 can also be used on Hadfield manganese.

Product hardness ranges are listed as welded. They may respond to heat treatment but the Rc values will change. The user should check the material prior toheat treated conditions. Fluxes other than Stoody’s can alter the hardness as reported in this literature.
