Re: [MW:16483] Using of ER70S-6 in place of ER70S-2

Mr. Chakraborthy,

You have not given  the  process details. Is it MIG or TIG process.

In general:

For TIG process, we use ER 70S-2 for CS welding. The shielding gas used will be Argon. Radio graphic
quality is assured due to addition of Ti, Zn & Al which removes Oxygen  by forming faster oxides with it
along with Mn.& C. ER 70S-6 is available in spool form ( 15 kg  or so) and not used for TIG process as it
can not provide X-ray quality welds

For MIG process, ER 70S-6 is generally used with  Carbon-DI-oxide as shielding gas. ER 70S-6 has
excessive Mn & Si  (1.85 & 1.15 %  respectively) compared to 1,4 & 0.7 % in ER 70S-2 filler wire,
Additional Mn, & Si will remove oxides form CO2 gas to give good weld quality, but consistency to
provide x-ray quality is a question mark. ER 70S-2 could also be used but, only with Argon gas.

Dear Expert,
Please guide whether ER70S-6 can be used in place of ER70S-2. Please give code reference.
