Stoody 970-G is a non-chromium bearing hardfacing welding wire which results in a deposit that has wear resistance and hardness equal to or greater than conventional carbide deposits. Stoody 970-G was specifically formulated to eliminate chromium in the wire and still provide outstanding wear resistance. As there is no chromium in the welding wire, the emission of hexavalent chromium during welding is reduced or completely eliminated (depending on the chromium content of the base metal or pre-existing weld deposit). Stoody 970-G provides a wear resistant overlay for applications where hexavalent chromium in welding fumes cannot be reduced by work practice controls.
