Do not apply hard-surfacing directly to the parent material
as this could cause toe cracking, and the hard-surfacing
will break away.
Procedure:
Follow the General Welding Guidelines and Rules.
Apply a single pass stringer bead pattern, with the grain,
using E7018 electrode. Peen each pass.
Do not apply a stringer directly on the edge. Start the first
pass 1/4” from the edge.
Stagger the ends of the stringer welds so they do not end
in a straight line.
Cap each stringer bead with one pass of GenWire or
GenRod to hard-surface. Do not apply more than two lay-
ers of hard-surfacing. Peen each pass.
Grind the ends of all stringer welds, with the grain to taper
1” to 1-1/2” (25 - 38 mm) to the parent material.
See the following page for hard-surfacing illustrations and
instructions specific to each area of the jaws.
