DETAILS
ER70S-6 mild steel GMAW (MIG) alloy is a general purpose welding alloy for fabrication of mild steel. It contains more deoxidizers than ER70S-3. The additional deoxidizers also provide better wetting, giving a flatter bead shape and the capability of faster travel speeds. Usually used with 75/25 (Argon/Carbon Dioxide) shielding gas or with higher contents of Argon, such as 90/10. It can also be used with 100% Carbon dioxide. Conveniently packaged for point-of-purchase display.
Features
- General purpose GMAW (MIG) welding wire for fabrication of mild steel
- Contains the highest combination of silicon and manganese deoxidizers
- Additional deoxidizers also provide better wetting, giving a flatter bead shape and the capability of faster travel speeds
- Higher deoxidizers allows for high current welding with CO2 shielding gas or ArCO2
- Can also be used with 100% CO2
- Primarily used for multiple pass on steels where rusty and dirty surfaces are not cleaned before welding
- Conforms to AWS A5.18 ER70S-6
