Description (English)
Shanghai Vertex Alloy Co., Ltd (Vertex Alloy) supplies ER70S-6 copper-coated carbon steel solid welding wire to AWS A5.18 / ASME SFA-5.18, equivalent to GB/T 8110 ER50-6 and EN ISO 14341-A G3Si1. Sizes Γ 0.8β2.0 mm on 1 kg / 5 kg / 15 kg spools and 250 kg / 350 kg bulk drums, for MIG/MAG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding with 100% COβ or Ar/COβ mixed shielding gas. High manganese and silicon deoxidizers tolerate mill scale, light rust and poor fit-up, delivering a stable arc, low spatter, smooth X-ray quality beads and minimal porosity. Deposited metal: tensile β₯500 MPa, yield β₯420 MPa, elongation β₯22%, impact β₯27 J at -30Β°C β ideal for structural steel, shipbuilding, pipelines, automotive and pressure vessel fabrication of 500 MPa-grade carbon and low-alloy steels (Q235, Q355, A36, A572). Every lot ships with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate; CCS/ABS/BV/LR/DNV class approvals available. Contact us for the latest stock and pricing.
