WeldStar | A15 | ER 70S-6
A high-quality copper-coated wire designed for superior welding performance across various industrial applications.
Features and Applications
Key Features
- Enhanced Deoxidizing Power: High levels of manganese and silicon ensure strong deoxidizing capabilities, making it suitable for less stringent cleaning procedures.
- Smoother Bead Appearance: High silicon content improves weld pool fluidity, resulting in minimal post-weld grinding.
- Low-Temperature Performance: Excellent mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures, down to -40°C.
- Versatile Applications: Commonly used in boilers, industrial machinery, bridges, shipbuilding, automotive, rail, and engineering fabrications.
- Premium Material Quality: Produced using virgin raw materials sourced from specialized steel mills, ensuring consistent reliability and quality.
Certifications: Test certificates available online at wilkinsonstar247.com.
