Apollo A has been developed to produce the most crack resistant welds for use on heavy equipment. Under impact, Apollo A work hardens considerably to resist wear. In addition, this alloy has extraordinary strength combined with excellent ductility (30% elongation). It is superior for metal-to-metal wear applications.
When equipment is exposed to stress, shock, impact or abrasion, Apollo A is an ideal welding material. Outstanding results are found on all critical joints and when impact is present as in rails, frogs and cross overs. Use for manganese wear plates, buckets, crushers, hammers, dragline chains and pins.
