ER70S-6 is a solid low carbon steel filler wire rod used for TIG Welding & MIG/MAG (GMAW) Welding applications.Each digit in the ER70S-6 classification has its own meaning and meets AWS A5.18 standards, meaning it’s certified for tensile strength around 70,000 psi minimum. The “ER” stands for electrode or rod, “70” for that base strength, “S” for solid wire, and “6” flags its higher silicon and manganese content compared to milder options. It’s copper-coated for smooth feeding through your Lincoln or Miller machine, reducing bird-nesting headaches.
APPLICATIONS:
ER70S-6 is used widely for welding of mild steel, plain carbon steel, and carbon steel. It is also used for dissimilar welding between carbon steel to Low alloy steel.The wire can be used for thin sheet metal (Small diameters) and thick parts welding as well. The shielding gas when using the wire with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) is pure argon.
CHARACTERISTICS:
ER70S-6 is for Rm 500MPa level carbon steel with shield gas of CO2 or M21. Small spatter, beautiful appearance, high deposition efficiency and small weld metal porosity sensibility. All positions are suitable.
ATTENTION:
1. The rust, oil, water and other impurities of the weld area must be
removed before welding.
2. The mechanical properties of all weld metal be decided by heat input, normally the small heat input will better than larger one.
