    ER630 classification is designed primarily for welding ASTMA564 type 630 and some other precipitation-hardening stainlesssteels. The composition is modified to prevent the formation offerrite networks in the martensitic microstructure which has agreat effect on mechanical properties. The weld metal may beused either as welded, welded and precipitation hardened, orwelding and solution treated.Mechanical properties of this alloy are greatly influenced by theheat treatment.

    Type ER70S-2 is a triple deoxidized steel welding wire for tigand mig welding applications. For mig welding use CarbonDioxide or Argon + Co2 or Argon +2% Oxygen as shieldinggases. For tig welding use 100% Argon.

    Alloy: WW70S-3

    Class: ER70S-3AWS: A5.18

    This alloy is commonly referred to as 6-4 titanium and isprobably the most widely used titanium alloy. This alloy isexcellent for industrial fans, pressure vessels, aircraftcomponents, and automotive parts. All automatic weldprocesses can be used. Titanium is a reactive metal that issensitive to embrittlement by oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen attemperatures above 500F. This can be provided by shielding themetal with high purity inert gas or in a chamber. Cleanliness ofthe joint is a major factorin producing porosity free welds.Protection of the wire at all times is required to assurecleanliness. Can be fusion welded to Zirconium, Tantalum,Nobium and Vanadium. Should not be fusion welded to Copper,Iron, Nickel, and Aluminum, as it will produce extremely brittlewelds.Note: AWS now classifies this material as ERTi-5
