Standard-Arc® Copper-Glide™ S-3 Copper-Coated Welding Wire, well-known as Standard-Arc S-3, is a copper-coated mild steel solid filler metal designed to extract maximum weld quality and user appeal from ER70S-3
The welding wire contains manganese and silicon contents that assure maximum deoxidation, which results in more desirable flat bead profiles and low-spatter welds
It provides ideal arc starts, arc stability, and feedability for efficient welding processes
Specifications
AWS A5.18: ER70S-3
ASME SFA-5.18: ER70S-3
CWB W48: B-G 49A 2 C1 S3
Includes
Excellent spatter control and bead profile
The surface treatment is designed to provide smooth trouble-free feeding performance
Copper coating provides superior arc starting characteristics, for long contact tip life
Fluid puddle, good wash-in at weld toes and flat weld beads minimize defects, scrap or re-work.
