Mild Steel ER70S-6 TIG Welding Rod 5 Lbs TIG Filler Rod
Excellent Deoxidation: High levels of silicon (Si) and manganese (Mn) improve puddle fluidity and allow welding over surfaces with light rust or oil contamination.
Stable Arc & Smooth Bead: Produces a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter, resulting in clean, aesthetically pleasing weld beads.
High Tensile Strength: Delivers a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi, providing strong and durable welds for structural applications.
Low Spatter and Easy Slag Removal: Clean finish with less post-weld cleanup effort.
Copper-Coated Surface: Enhances feedability and resists oxidation for extended shelf life.
