Description

Apollo A Arc Welding Rods – High-Strength Electrodes for Manganese and Wear-Resistant Steel (SMAW) - 2lb Tube

Product Description

Maximum strength and impact resistance for heavy equipment repairs.
Apollo A rods are engineered to deliver crack-resistant, work-hardening welds on low alloy, manganese, and carbon steels. Built for the most demanding applications, Apollo A provides a 135,000 psi tensile strength weld with 30% elongation and the ability to harden under stress—making it ideal for shock, impact, and abrasion-prone repairs.

Use Apollo A for high-wear applications like crusher hammers, rail frogs, dragline chains, and manganese wear plates. For even greater wear resistance, overlay with hardface alloys like Olympia, Omega, or Zeta.

Key Features

  • 135,000 psi tensile strength with 30% elongation
  • Deposits work harden up to 55 RC
  • Ideal for manganese, carbon, and medium/high alloy steels
  • Excellent for metal-to-metal wear surfaces
  • No preheat or peening required
  • Flux coating resists moisture
  • Cuts easily with a torch
  • Operates on AC or DCEP

Packaging & Sizes

  • Electrode length: 14"
  • Sold in 2 lb, 5 lb, or 11 lb plastic tubes
  • Available diameters:
    • 1/8"
    • 5/32"
    • 3/16"

Recommended Amperage Settings (±20%)

  • 1/8": 120 Amps
  • 5/32": 160 Amps
  • 3/16": 200 Amps
  • Use AC or DC reverse polarity (DCEP)

Welding Instructions

  • Remove all cracks or work-hardened areas with Electra or by grinding
  • Skip weld to avoid localized heat buildup
  • Weave no more than 2–3 times the rod diameter

Applications

  • Crusher hammers and buckets
  • Manganese wear plates and dragline chains
  • Rails, frogs, and crossovers
  • Pins, linkages, and high-impact joints
  • General buildup on abrasion-prone components
