BLUME® ER70S-3 (TIG) Datasheet

Q: What is BLUME® ER70S-3 TIG Rod designed for?
A: It’s designed for TIG welding of clean, low-carbon and mild steels, ideal for fabrication, automotive, and structural applications requiring smooth, clean welds.

Q: How does ER70S-3 differ from ER70S-6?
A: ER70S-3 contains less deoxidizers, making it perfect for clean base metals where high-silicon ER70S-6 may cause excessive fluidity or silicon islands.

Q: What shielding gas is recommended?
A: Use 100% Argon for TIG welding to achieve optimal arc stability and bead appearance.

Q: Can it be used on rusty or contaminated surfaces?
A: It performs best on clean or lightly oiled surfaces. For rusted or scaled steel, BLUME® ER70S-6 is recommended.

Q: Why choose BLUME® over other ER70S-3 wires?
A: BLUME® TIG rods are precision-drawn and triple-cleaned, ensuring better arc initiation, smoother feed, and superior finish, reducing rework and improving overall productivity.
