Apollo B, 14" Stick Electrode for Dissimilar Steels or as Hardfacing Underlay, 5/32" Dia., 5lb, Rockmount Research And Alloys, Mfr#: 1015-5

Apollo BFor joining dissimilar steels. Also for build-up or hard surfacing manganese and carbon steels.Features:– High Strength 105,000psi– Resistant To Severe Impact– Superior Ductility (37% Elongation)– Fast, Easy Deposition– Tough, Yet Machinable – Deposit Hardness 20 RC, Work Hardens To 40-45 RC– Good Corrosion Resistance and Hot Hardness To 1000oF (538oC)Apollo B produces sound welds that combine excellent strength, impact resistance, abrasion resistance and joining properties. It can join stainless to carbon steel, and other combinations of dissimilar and hard-to-weld steels. The special low-hydrogen coating gives spatter-free welds and ease of operation in all positions. Ideal for build-up situations requiring tough but machinable deposits. Applications include joining wedge bars to dipper teeth, repairing cracked crusher rolls, surfacing valve seats, and welding alloy steel lips to manganese buckets. Apollo B is also effective for building up manganese and carbon steels before overlaying with a very high abrasion resistant material, such as our Olympia, Omega or Zeta products.
