STOODY® 964 AP-G is a gas-shielded, flux-cored, all-position, general purpose hard facing wire. The deposit is a specially formulated wear-resistant alloy which produces a uniform distribution of small primary carbides in a martensitic matrix. The small carbides provides greatly improved wear resistance over martensitic steel, many tool steels and some conventional chromium carbide alloys. 964 AP-G possesses excellent resistance to impact and plastic deformation. Deposits are crack-free on carbon 300 stainless and manganese steels. Other base metals should be preheated and pose heated appropriately. The material is characterized by a high hardness and excellent wear resistance. 964 AP-G is recommended for parts where cross checking is undesirable. 964 AP_G offers improves weldability when compared to chromium carbide and many other tool steel Welding Wires.
