Classification
| AWS class | ER 70S-3 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | G 42 4 M21 G2Si1 |
Purpose
- Solid MIG rod and TIG rod for carbon and low-alloy steel, especially suited to thin galvanized sheet (AWS ER 70S-3, EN ISO G 42 4 M21 G2Si1).
Why it works
This entry step's low Si-Mn composition performs well on electrolytically or hot-dip galvanized thin sheet, where excess deoxidizing elements can cause porosity.
Fields of application
- Electrolytically or hot-dip galvanized thin sheet, and general carbon and low-alloy steel, by MIG or TIG.

Advantages
- Available as both MIG rod and TIG rod under the same reference — a single consumable for both processes.
- Good behavior on thin galvanized sheet, where rods with heavier deoxidation can cause porosity.
Limitations
- For low-alloy steel with higher mechanical-strength demands, see FERVEO STL SG2/SG3.
