Kawat Las Carbon Steel ER 70S-3

This technical specification sheet provides information on ER70S-3 carbon steel welding wire. It is intended for general purpose welding of steel with silicon and manganese additions. The wire produces a smooth, stable arc with low spatter, resulting in an evenly fused weld bead. It can be used in a variety of welding processes including gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc, and with shielding gases such as CO2, Ar/CO2 mixtures, and Ar/O2. Recommended welding parameters are provided for different processes and wire diameters.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SHEET

ER70S-3 CARBON STEEL WELDING WIRE


SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE: AISI/AWS A5.18 & ASME SFA 5.18 ER 70S-3

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. ER70S-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. ER70S-3 is designed for use with various gas mixtures such as 100% CO2 ,75/25 Ar/CO2 or 98/2 Ar/O2.
Even in the most difficult applications ER70S-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.

APPLICATIONS: Frame fabrication, automotive structures, farm implements, construction equipment, pressure
vessels, pipe fabrication, railcar construction and repair, general fabrication. Widely used in high-speed robotic and
automatic welding applications and semi-automatic applications.
