Primary applications for Stoody 35 involve severe abrasion with moderate to heavy impact. It is normally used for earth-to-metal wear or wear due to abrasion of other particulate material. Stoody 35 is a solid core electrode with a heavy extruded coating that contains the alloying elements. The 1/8" size can be applied out of position. Deposits are uniform with excellent bead appearance and slag removal. Stoody 35 bonds readily to carbon, low alloy, and manganese steel. It develops surface checks and is not machinable or forgeable. Compressive strength is very high.
