® Automatic Submerged Wires
STOODY ALLOYS FOR AUTOMATIC

SUBMERGED ARC APPLICATION
Deposit characteristics of Stoody automatic sub-

merged-arc alloys are affected by welding proce-
dure and submerging flux. The data presented
here is based on typical deposits made with rec-
ommended procedures and proper preheat, inter-
pass temperature and post weld cooling of the
work piece.
Stoody automatic alloys can be applied with AC or

DC welding current. When applied with DC welding
current either straight or reverse polarity may be
used with but one exception—DC reverse polarity
only is recommended for Stoody 103. Straight
polarity produces faster deposition speed while
reverse polarity offers smoothest surface appear-
ance. Hardnesses obtained with straight polarity
will be slightly higher than those obtained with
reverse polarity.
Certain sizes other than those shown are available on special order. Standard package for 7/64" (2.8
mm) wire is 60 pound 12" I.D. coil Standard package for 1/8" (3.2 mm) and 5/32" (4.0 mm) wires are 100
pound 22 1/2” I.D. coils, 200 pound Halfpaks and 500 pound Payoffpaks. All materials listed are for use
on weldable grades of carbon and alloy steels. Stoody 103 can also be used on Hadfield manganese.
STOODY TYPE S FLUX AND ROLL RITE FLUX

Type S and Roll Rite Fluxes are manufactured to Stoody specifications and are designed specifically for
alloy overlays. Use of Type S Flux and Roll Rite Flux with Stoody automatic submerged-arc wires insures
designed deposit chemistry. Slag removed is excellent at elevated temperatures. Type S Flux and Roll
Rite Plux are packed in 50 pound bags, shipped 3,000 pounds to a pallet.
