What does ER70S-6 stand for?

As an example, for a commonly used solid wire — AWS ER70S-6 — the “ER” indicates that the filler metal is an electrode or rod; the “70” signifies that it has a tensile strength of 70,000 pounds per square inch (psi); and the “S” means that it is a solid wire.

What is ER70S-6 welding wire?

Type ER70S-6 is a wire with higher levels of Deoxidizers welding of steels with moderate amounts of scale or rust. (Mn & Si) compared to other carbon steel wires. This wire is suitable for welding of steels with moderate amounts of scale or rust.

What can you weld with ER70S-6?

Pinnacle Alloys ER70S-6 is a good selection for weldments requiring better tie-in and wetting than possible with a 70S-3 electrode. It is a terrific choice for welding pressure vessels, structural steel, pipe, steel buildings, and automotive repair.

What is ER70S-6 made?

carbon steel
RADNOR™ ArcPlus 6 ER70S-6 MIG Welding Wire made from carbon steel features higher levels of manganese/silicon and can be used in general purpose fabrication.

Is ER70S-6 flux-cored?

ER70S-6 – Solid core – MIG & Flux-Cored Welding Wire – Filler Metals – Welding – Products.

What is the difference between 70S 2 and 70S 6?

Both are, for all intents, identical. One has slightly more deoxidizing agents than the other, but you may use both as equals. The 70S-6 has better scavaging properties then the S-2. It has higher silicon,and manganese deoxidizer levels, with better arc characteristics.

Is ER70S-6 flux cored?

Can you use MIG wire for TIG welding?

Mig welding wire from a spool can be used for Tig Welding.

What size TIG filler rod should I use?

In general, use a filler rod with a diameter less than the thickness of the metal being welded. With a base metal thickness under 1/8 inch, the rod diameter should be slightly thinner than the metal being welded. For stainless sheet metal, use one size lower than you would use for carbon steel.
