ER70S-G - Gas-Shielded Welding Wire
1.Used for welding all kinds of 500MPa structural steel parts,thick plates and thick pipelines.
2.Used for high speed welding on 500MPa base metals.
What is ER70S-G
The welding current has been strengthened to a great extent and the welding efficiency has been improved. Because the grains of the deposited metal have been refined, both the tensile strength and the yield strength are close to the upper limit of the standard of classification society for 50kg class welding materials.The impact absorbed energy has been improved obviously.
How CO2 gas shielded welding wire Works
During the welding process, the CO2 gas shielded welding wire is fed through the welding gun and meets the arc to form a molten pool. An external shielding gas (usually a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide) is simultaneously released to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This ensures clean, high-quality welds. The compatibility of gas shielded welding wire with various shielding gases and its stable performance make it the first choice for many industrial applications.
Gas shielded welding wire is a welding material used for gas shielded welding. Its product structure mainly includes the analysis of the following aspects:
Welding wire material: The main components of gas shielded welding wire usually include metal alloys, such as steel, aluminum, copper, etc. The material of the welding wire directly affects the performance and scope of application of welding.
Coating agent: The surface of the welding wire is usually covered with a layer of coating agent. This is to provide a protective atmosphere during the welding process and prevent the adverse effects of oxygen, moisture, etc. on the welding. The composition and performance of the coating agent affect the quality and stability of the welding.
Diameter and specifications: The diameter and specifications of the gas shielded welding wire are determined according to the specific welding needs. Different welding tasks may require different diameters and specifications of welding wire. This also affects the welding current parameters and the width of the weld.
Strength and hardness: The welded joint needs to have a certain strength and hardness to ensure the durability and stability of the weld. The material of the welding wire and heat treatment and other processes will affect these properties after welding.
Weldability: The weldability of gas shielded welding wire refers to the operability during the welding process, including good arc stability, less spatter and other characteristics. This has an important impact on the control of the welding process and the convenience of welding operations.
Comprehensive analysis of the above aspects can help formulate a gas shielded welding wire selection plan suitable for specific welding tasks to ensure welding quality and effect.
