STOODY® VANCAR® E 3/16" Dia X 14" Hard Facing Electrode comes in a 10 lb vac pak and renders wear rates that remain very uniform throughout the life of the deposit. Electrode is ideal for farm drill points, dry cement pump screw, drill pipe, stabilizer wings, ammonia injector wings, pug mill knives and chisels. VANCAR® E is a fabricated electrode with a dipped coating and the deposits contain specially formulated vanadium tungsten carbide particles approximately equal to tungsten carbide in hardness. It's advantage over tungsten carbide is that it can be applied in multiple layers and still maintain its original hardness due to uniform distribution of the carbide particles. It is designed for use lowest practical amperage that will assure a good bond to reduce dilution with the base metal. Use mid-range amperage for best possible coverage and best surface appearance. Shielded metal arc welding electrode is suitable for hot wear applications up to 900 deg F. It is designed to work with a current rating of +/-130 - 165 A and is designed for DC straight polarity application.
