DESCRIPTION
Stoody
C semi-automatic wire for open arc, gas
shielded and submerged arc operation is a tubular
nickel based wire developed for harsh environments
of temperature and corrosion. The work hardening
properties of this alloy make it especially resistance
to metal-to-metal wear under conditions of high
temperature and impact. It retains hardness up to
1200
0
F and has a low coefficiency of friction.
Deposits are dense and smooth.
