Stoody® Stoodite® 6 160 - 180 A Bare Welding Rod measuring 3/16" Dia X 14" is made of cobalt alloy that has excellent resistance to many forms of mechanical and chemical degradation over a wide temperature range. It features anti-galling properties, high temperature hardness and a high resistance to cavitation erosion that can be used as a valve seat material. It is ideal for hardfacing process and is machinable with carbide tools. It involves oxy-acetylene welding, gas tungsten arc welding process that finds its application in diesel engine valves, trimmer dies, guide rolls, trunnions, zinc tanks, forging die blocks, plastic extrusion screws, bearing as well as bushing areas, also in chemical and steam valve trim. It is also ideal for sintering machine seat, covers, flapper gates, valves and seats, coke pusher shoes, cooling bed rolls, hot trimming dies, forging die blocks, chain saw guide bars, blow valves, pulp digester, plastic extrusion screws.
Features
Weld DC reverse polarity
Use minimum amperage, apply weave bead 3/4" to 1 1/2" wide
For check-free deposits, preheat and slow cool
In applying bare rod, use a larger torch tip than is generally used for same diameter mild steel
Use excess acetylene feather 3x length of inner cone. With the gas tungsten arc process, use 100% Argon
