Rockmount Apollo® A - Hard Surfacing Rod

Rockmount Apollo® A

For joining, build-up and wear surfacing of all low alloy, manganese, medium and high carbon steels.

Apollo A has been developed to produce the most crack resistant welds for use on heavy equipment. Under impact, Apollo A work hardens considerably to resist wear. In addition, this alloy has extraordinary strength combined with excellent ductility (30% elongation). It is superior for metal-to-metal wear applications.

When equipment is exposed to stress, shock, impact or abrasion, Apollo A is an ideal welding material. Outstanding results are found on all critical joints and when impact is present as in rails, frogs and cross overs. Use for manganese wear plates, buckets, crushers, hammers, dragline chains and pins.

When even more wear resistance is required, final passes should be made with Olympia, Omega or Zeta hard face alloys.
