AWS class
E 70 C-6 M
EN ISO class
T 46 4 M M 3
Tensile strength (Rm)
530–650 MPa
Classification
| AWS class | E 70 C-6 M |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | T 46 4 M M 3 |
Purpose
- Metal-cored wire, for butt and fillet welding with spray-transfer arc (AWS E 70 C-6 M, EN ISO T 46 4 M M 3).
Why it works
The metal core gives greater arc stability and a wider optimum current range than an equivalent solid wire, with less spatter in spray transfer.
Fields of application
- Butt and fillet welding of construction steel and pipe (API 5L grades up to X60), with M21 gas shielding.

Advantages
- More stable arc and wider optimum current range than an equivalent solid wire, with less spatter.
Limitations
- Restricted to flat and horizontal-fillet position.
