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.
