MIDALLOY ER70S-6 WELDING WIRE


CLASSIFICATION
• AWS 5.18 Class ER70S-6 / ASME SFA 5.18 Class ER70S-6 (UNS K11140) and EN10204

DESCRIPTION
• MIDALLOY ER70S-6 welding wire is a bare wire, used for GMAW and GTAW welding
• AMSE Section IX F Number 6 A Number 1

BENEFITS
• Consistent welding performance • Stable arc with low feeding force
• Excellent arc ignition • High current applicability
• Extremely low overall spatter • Low fume emission
• Trouble-free feedability, even at high wire feed speeds and lengthy feed distances

APPLICATION
• MIDALLOY ER70S-6 welding wire is designed for the GMAW and GTAW welding most carbon steel materials.
• Normal applications include structural steel, carbon steel plate, pipe, fittings, castings and forgings.
• The as-welded filler metal deposit exhibits adequate strength and hardness and may not require PWHT.
• Midalloy ER70S-6 is intended for single of multi-pass welding with smooth GMAW weld beads.
