DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ER70S-2 &ER70S-6

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ER70S-2 &ER70S-6

 

In the first part - ER 70S-6 & ER 70S-2:

     

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

S-6: contains very high Manganese & Silica content which will act as de-oxidizers and could

  

 

     

 

be used along with CO2 as shielding gas. Radiographic quality of weld is not mandatory.

      

Recommended for GMAW (MIG & MAG) process.

 

S-2: contains limited amount of Mn & Si, but has additional elements like Zn &#; Al &#; Ti, which will

      

act as deoxidizers and could be used along with Argon ( or) with Ar (+) O2 as shielding gas.

     

100 % radiographic quality of weld is obtainable. Recommended for GTAW (TIG) process.

 

In the second part i.e., with ER 70S-6:

The said golden spots are nothing but non-metallic slag spots, caused by the reaction of excessive Manganese (Mn)

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Jinertai.

used as a de-oxidizer in S-6 wire and reaction of Mn (+) Oxygen, which is transferred through CO2 shielding gas.

 

It will not stick to weld surface and could be removed easily by hand / power brushing and it is a general post weld

practice if surface painting  to be done. But, spots can be controlled through proper selection of Voltage / current

ratios, by using Ar (+)

CO2

mixture gas and good bead ripple finish.

 

If required you can use ER 70S-2, but it is 3 times expensive to S-6 wire. Alternatively, S-3 also could be used with

Argon gas.

ER70s2 vs ER70s6 for TIG

Post by Bob La Londe
I kind of had the impression that you used 70s6 for your run of the mill
mild steel and 70s2 for things like tube.
Recently watching some video on YouTube a fellow was showing off his
skills and welding up some mild steel welded square tube with ER70s2. I
had just asked the manager over at the local Praxair store what the
practical difference was, and he said basically what I said in the first
sentence of this post.
So anyway, what is the real world general application of the two types
of wire?
I know. I know. Go melt some wire and see what happens. LOL.

spotlessly clean. I use it for everything. 70S2 is good for brand
new metal that you then ground and cleaned even more before welding.
Both are 70Kpsi strength.

specs on 70s6:

AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.06 – 0.15 Ni = 0.15 max
Mn = 1.40 – 1.85 Cr = 0.15 max
Si = 0.80 – 1.15 Mo = 0.15 max
P = 0.025 max V = 0.03 max
S = 0.035 max Cu = 0.50 max

Application
Type ER70S-6 is a wire with higher levels of Deoxidizers welding of
steels with moderate amounts of scale or rust. (Mn & Si) compared to
other carbon steel wires. This wire is suitable for welding of steels
with moderate amounts of scale or rust.

70s2 specs:

AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.07 max Ni = 0.15 max Cu = 0.50 max
Mn = 0.90 – 1.40 Cr = 0.15 max Ti = 0.05 – 0.15
Si = 0.40 – 0.70 Mo = 0.15 max Zr = 0.02 – 0.12
P = 0.025 max V = 0.03 max Al = 0.05 – 0.15
S = 0.035 max

Available Sizes
.035 x 2#, 11#, 33#
.045 x 2#, 11#, 33#
1/16 x 33#

Application
Type ER70S-2 is a triple deoxidized steel welding wire for tig and mig
welding applications.


70s3 specs:

AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.06 – 0.15 Ni = 0.15 max
Mn = 0.90 – 1.40 Cr = 0.15 max
Si = 0.45 – 0.75 Mo = 0.15 max
P = 0.025 max V = 0.03 max
S = 0.035 max Cu = 0.50 max

Available Sizes
.023 X 11#, 33#
.035 X 11#, 33#
.045 X 11#, 33# & 60# Coils

Application
Type ER70S-3 is a welding wire for tig and mig welding applications.

For Mig welding use Carbon Dioxide or Argon + Co2 or Argon + 2% Oxygen
as shielding gases.

Kind of odd, I had thought that 70s6 had aluminum in it as a
deoxidizer. 70s2 has the lowest amount of carbon.

70S6 has more de-oxidizers in it. Better for metal that is notspotlessly clean.
