ER70S-7 .023 MIG Steel 33 lb Spool Welding Wire Blue Demon

Description

ER70S-7 is a general purpose MIG wire
suitable for many carbon steel welding
applications but with substantially greater
manganese content than ER70S-3 welding
alloy. The higher manganese provides slightly
better wetting and weld appearance with
slightly higher tensile and yield strengths
as well. These combined properties permit
increased speed when compared to S-3
product. Under equivalent welding conditions,
ER70S-7 produces as weld hardness lower
than ER70S-6 but higher than ER70S-3.
Typical Applications
• High tensile strength steels for automobiles
• Rolling stock
• Electrical appliances
• Machinery
• Air conditioners
• Light gauge steels
• Pipes
• Steel frames
