11983700 - Stoody 964 AP-G Hardfacing Wire 1/16" (1.6mm) - 33lb Spool

Weld in Any Position with Confidence

For welders tackling heavy equipment repairs, the Stoody 964 AP-G is a game-changer. This 1/16" hardfacing wire is designed to go where you need it, literally. Thanks to its all-position capability (AP-G stands for All Position Gas), you can run vertical or overhead passes on equipment that can't be moved or flipped, saving you hours of teardown time. Whether you are building up worn tamper feet or reinforcing a dredge bucket lip, this wire runs smoothly with a 75/25 Argon/CO2 gas mix, giving you a stable arc and a clean bead profile that requires minimal cleanup.

The Stoody 964 AP-G isn't just about ease of use; it puts down a serious layer of protection. The weld deposit is tough—really tough. It combines high hardness with excellent impact resistance, meaning it won't just wear down slowly; it also won't mushroom or deform when it takes a hit. It offers better weldability than many old-school chromium carbide wires, so you fight the puddle less and get the job done faster. If you are welding on manganese or stainless steel, you can often lay it down without worrying about cracking, making it a go-to wire for quick but durable fixes in the field.

This 33lb spool is ready for your heavy-duty feeder. Set your machine between 150 and 280 amps, adjust your stickout to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, and you are ready to extend the life of slitter blades, augers, and tillage tools. It is the perfect balance of performance and usability, ensuring that your hardfacing jobs hold up season after season.
