Stoody SOS 307 MOD
Stoody's "SOS" wires offer the productivity and efficiencies of continuous welding wire and the convenience and low cost of open arc (gas-less) welding. Welding can be done indoors or outdoors – even in moderate wind or draft conditions. Weldability is excellent, producing weld deposits that are sound and clean with flat to slightly convex bead shape. Stoody "SOS" wire deposits have lower percentage of penetration than GMAW deposits at the same current levels which means less dilution and distortion. Stoody "SOS" wires can be used as a direct replacement for solid stainless wires or electrodes of the same grade both in fabricating and overlay applications.
Stoody's "SOS" wires do not require specialized equipment. For best results, contant voltage, direct current power source is recommended.
