Solid Electrodes and Rods, Welding Wire — ER70S-4


ER70S-4

ER70S-4 [ER48S-4] are intended for welding steel where conditions require more deoxidation then is provided by the ER70S-3 [ER48S-3] filler metal. Typical base metal specifications are often the same as those for the ER70S-2 [ER48S-2] classification. This classification does not require impact setting.
