Weld Star - A18 (ER 70S-6) TIG Wire 5kg
( Bulk Pricing Available)
Highlights
A copper coated wire containing high levels of manganese and silicon for stronger deoxidizing power where stringent cleaning procedures are not possible.
The high silicon content increases the fluidity of the weld pool, creating a smoother bead appearance and resulting in minimal post-weld grinding.
Good mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures down to -40°C.
Typically used on boilers, industrial machinery, bridges, shipbuilding, automotive, rail, structural and engineering fabrications etc.
Green wire is produced using virgin raw materials sourced from specialised steel mills, which ensures consistent reliability and quality.
