I got an anvil in a trade not long ago and it has a small saddled spot. I did some research and found I can use a Lincoln 7018 electrode to build up the saddle but I was curious if there is a particular pattern that is to be welded when building a saddle up?
A mackay 32 and a mackay 58 were also mention as the equivelent to the stoody electrodes but at 130 for 10 lbs of each I am seriously considering using the 7018 or just the mackay 58 as two local machinist both said. They have repaired several anvils including their own but I forgot to ask about what pattern and I had taken up too much of their time already so I am asking y'all.
I will heat the face of the anvil with a rosebud before welding.
