ER70S-6 mild steel TIG (GTAW) welding alloy 3/32" x 36" x 3 lb. box.
ER70S-6 mild steel GTAW (TIG) 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/CO2) shielding gas or with higher contents of argon, such as 90/10. Can also be used with 100% CO2.
Features
- General purpose GTAW (TIG) welding rod 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
- Ink jet printed identification on entire length of rod
