monstermetal Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I dont know how its going to hold up... But this is an experiment. I should have taken before pics but this was a hammered little anvil... one edge was missing for about a inch into the tool plate... in the past I have used stoody 2110 as a build up to repair anvils but this one needed so much filler I tried stoody 965-G hardface wire.. The step and horn where built up with mild steel ER70-S6 wire and then several pounds of hardface where used to rebuild the face plate... About 5 hours work not including pre-heat I cant coment on performace yet but from a looks stand point Im happy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Looks pretty. Did you do a ball bearing test on the repaired area? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajajoaquin Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 What diameter wire and how big a machine did you use? The spec sheet I found says 2 layers. Is that an example, or a maximum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefarm39 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Looks great! I'll be very interested in hearing how the repair holds up, as I have a couple of anvils I would like to resurrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
