Description

ER70S-3 is a premium mild steel solid wire, with silicon and manganese levels suitable for general purpose welding over clean to light levels of rust and mill scale. 70S-3 has the flexibility to provide trouble-free performance in heavy-duty, high-speed spray or pulse applications to lighter duty, lower speed short-arc applications. GMAW is designed for use with various gas mixtures such as CO2 ,75/25 Ar/CO2 or 98/2 Ar/O2. 70S-3 produces a smooth stable arc with low spatter, producing a weld bead that ties in evenly with the sides and has a smooth finished appearance.
