Technical Features
- ER70S-6 Classification with 70,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Meets the ER70S-6 wire standard, delivering high-strength welds suited for structural and fabrication demands on ferrous metals.
- High Manganese and Silicon Content: Elevated deoxidizer levels allow effective welding on rusty or dirty steel surfaces, reducing the need for extensive pre-weld surface preparation.
- Smooth Bead Profile: Produces a consistent, smooth weld bead that minimizes post-weld grinding time, improving overall workflow efficiency.
- 0.035 in. Diameter on a 10 lb Spool: Wire diameter and spool size are compatible with a wide range of standard MIG welding equipment used in auto body and fabrication environments.
- DCEP Polarity: Operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive, consistent with standard MIG welding setups for stable arc performance.
- Color-Coded Label (Yellow): Yellow label color coding enables quick visual identification and differentiation from other wire types in the shop.
Applications
- Auto body repair and panel fabrication on ferrous metals.
- General MIG welding on mild steel components with surface contamination such as rust or mill scale.
- Fabrication work requiring high tensile strength welds on most ferrous materials.
Note: Not recommended for use on aluminum. Requires CO2 or Argon/CO2 shielding gas (not included). California residents: see Prop 65 warnings at P65Warnings.ca.gov. Wash hands after use.
