Stoody Versalloy AP
Stoody AP stainless steel wires are designed for welding in all positions with either 100% CO2 (X=1) or Argon / CO2 (X=4) gas mixutres. These wires exhibit a spraylike arc transfer, easy slag removal and can be welded over a wide range of parameters. Versalloy AP desposit is a modified austenitic stainless steel recommended for joining, rebuilding, or cushion-overlaying on applications involving high strength, heat, and corrosion resistance. It is frequently used in dissimilar metal applications to join carbon steels to stainless steels. Versalloy AP has excellent welder appeal with a smooth spray arc and a self-peeling slag.
