The TAURUS ER70S-6 MIG wire is produced from high quality deoxidised rod. The products are copper coated for increased shelf life, which facilitates good electrical conductivity with reduced friction during high speed welding. The TAURUS ER70S-6 MIG wire is a premium quality wire which is precision layer-wound to produce positive, uninterrupted feeding in semi-automatic and automated systems.
WELDING PROCEDURE
The TAURUS ER70S-6 MIG wire is suitable for dip (short arc), spray arc and pulsed-arc transfer welding using CO2 and Argon based shielding gases.
WELDING POSITIONS
