Rockmount Apollo B Arc Gouging Rod

Rockmount Apollo B Arc Gouging Rod

For joining Manganese and carbon steels. Also for build-up or hard surfacing. Apollo B produces sound welds that combine excellent strength, impact resistance, abrasion resistance and joining properties. It can join stainless to carbon steel, and other combinations of dissimilar and hard-to-weld steels. The special low-hydrogen coating gives spatter-free welds and ease of operation in all positions. Ideal for build-up situations requiring tough but machinable deposits.

Applications include joining wedge bars to dipper teeth, repairing cracked crusher rolls, surfacing valve seats, and welding alloy steel lips to manganese buckets. Apollo B is also effective for building up manganese and carbon steels before overlaying with a very high abrasion resistant material, such as our Olympia, Omega or Zeta products.
