Description

Apollo B Arc Welding Rods – High-Impact Electrodes for Dissimilar and Hard-to-Weld Steels (SMAW) - 2lb Tube

Product Description

Tough, machinable welds for extreme conditions.
Apollo B rods are engineered to join dissimilar steels, build up high-wear parts, and overlay hard-to-weld materials like manganese and stainless. With 105,000 psi tensile strength and 37% elongation, Apollo B offers exceptional impact resistance, ductility, and hot hardness up to 1000°F (538°C).

Ideal for industrial maintenance and equipment repairs, Apollo B deposits can be machined and will work harden to 45 RC, making them suitable as a base layer or final repair on crusher rolls, wedge bars, and valve seats.

Key Features

  • 105,000 psi tensile strength
  • Work-hardens up to 45 RC
  • 37% elongation for superior ductility
  • Excellent for joining dissimilar or alloyed steels
  • No preheat required on most steels
  • Machinable and impact-resistant
  • Effective under high heat and wear (up to 1000°F)
  • AC or DCEP operation

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": 130 Amps
  • 5/32": 175 Amps
  • 3/16": 245 Amps
  • Use AC or DC reverse polarity (DCEP)

Welding Instructions

  • Clean the work surface and remove all cracks
  • Use higher current on first pass when welding over work-hardened areas
  • No preheat needed on most steels
  • Apply stringer beads rather than weaving
  • Use a heavy root pass when joining materials

Applications

  • Dissimilar metal joining (e.g. stainless to carbon steel)
  • Overlay and buildup on manganese and carbon steels
  • Valve seats, crusher rolls, and wedge bars
  • Base layers prior to hardfacing (Olympia, Omega, or Zeta recommended)
