A welding wire comprising a flux core having a core composition alloyed with a combination of alloying elements is described. The alloying elements comprise Cr and N, wherein the flux core comprises between 10% and 50% of the total weight of the weld wire. A metal sheath encapsulates the flux core, wherein the metal sheath comprises between about 90% and 50% of the total weight of the welding wire and wherein the welding wire can be used in a welding process without destabilizing a welding arc. One of the applications of the wire and welding process of the present invention is hard surfacing of the steel mill roles, which are hollow cylinders usually on continuous casters. As an example, the rolls welded by the wire and method of the present invention can have a diameter of about 12 inches or less. Additionally, a welding apparatus comprising a welding gun with a device for feeding an electrode into the welding gun is described. The corresponding welding process calls for gas shielding of the electrode to reduce spatter and smoke emission while creating a smooth weld bead surface requiring less grinding and finishing. The resulting weld deposit has enhanced resistance to pitting corrosion.
