Washington Alloy

TC 70S-6

Overview

• Contains high levels of manganese and silicon for stronger deoxidizing power where stringent cleaning procedures are not possible
• This wire has been designed to provide x-ray quality porosity-free welds and the highest tensile strength (as welded) of the plain carbon steel wires
• The high silicon content increases the fluidity of the weld pool, creating a smoother bead appearance and needs minimal post-weld grinding
• Excellent where poor fit-ups or rusty and oily plates may be used
• Applications include construction work, tanks, truck bodies, farm implements, pipes, steel castings or forgings, shaft build-ups and general shop fabrications
