TIG Wires

SUPERLINK TIG 70 S2

AWS A5.18: ER70S-2 EN ISO 14341-A: W 46 3 W2Si

A triple-deoxidised solid TIG wire with Al, Ti, and Zr additions in addition to standard Mn and Si, for welding mild and medium carbon steel. Excellent for welding on killed, semi-killed, and rimmed steels. Superior porosity resistance. Produces clean, smooth welds on pipe root passes. Argon shielding.

Welding procedure & parameters

DCEN (electrode negative). Shielding gas: 100% Argon. Back purge with Ar for pipe root passes. Preheat per base metal specification. Wire dia: 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 3.2mm.

Typical applications

GTAW of mild and medium carbon steel pipe roots (API 5L), pressure vessels, boilers, high-purity welds, aerospace-grade mild steel fabrication. Preferred over ER70S-6 where porosity risk is high.

Storage & handling notes

Store sealed against moisture. Do not use CO₂ or mixed gas — TIG process uses pure Argon. Do not contaminate wire surface with oil/grease.
