Stoody® 130 Tungsten Carbide Wires Withstand Wear and Tear of Earth Moving Applications



St. Louis - July 1, 2002 - Stoody® 130 semi-automatic open arc wire is a low cost tungsten carbide wire which provides excellent metal to earth wear resistance.

Stoody 130's excellent abrasion resistance is due to the product's Borium® particles exhibiting a hardness rating of 9.9 on Moh's scale. It is easily applied to carbon or low alloy steel, and is suited for applications including scoop lids and teeth, pug mill knives, cultivator chisels, Raymond mill plows, and a variety of tillage tools.

The tungsten carbide wire is available in a .062" (1.6mm) diameter as well as a 7/64" (2.8mm) diameter. The .062" diameter wire has an amperage range of 90-120, a voltage range of 18-24, and a wire extension of 1/4". The 7/64" diameter wire has an amperage range of 120-150, a voltage range of 18-24, and a wire extension of 1/2". Neither requires shielding gas.
