This is a famously known TIG welding wire mainly used on Carbon and low alloy steels. Besides, it can also be used as a MIG welding wire in the welding process since it has key features that embody all the characteristics that each of the welding rods requires.
Scientifically, ER70S-2 is a triple deoxidized wire mainly applied in welding carbon and Carbon-Manganese steels. In the process, the tensile strength of the wire ranges up to 73,970 psi (510MPa). This combination reduces the outcome of weld deposits defects if used properly and precisely by the welder in various carbon steels.
If properly used, ER70-2 wire is inevitable to attain high-quality welds especially on most grades of carbon steel. Furthermore, when two elements namely Manganese and Silicon are added in the wire, deoxidation is greatly enhanced.
This is very crucial especially when welding on mill scale and slightly rusty metal surfaces. ER70S-2 can be applied in welding on various materials such as thin, electro-galvanized as well as galvanized surfaces thus the production of less spatter in the process.
