| Mild Steel Wire | | SuperGlide S3 | ER70S-3 | DC+ | SuperGlide® S3, our premium bare MIG wire, like our SuperArc® L-50, is an excellent choice for 50,000 psi (345 MPa) yield strength, carbon steel base materials. SuperGlide® S3 has moderate silicon and manganese deoxidizer levels and has an excellent reputation for feedability and trouble-free performance. Designed for use on clean, oil-free, and rust-free base material. Will tolerate light millscale. SuperGlide® S3 MIG wire is an excellent choice when a bare or non-copper coated ER70S-3 wire is preferred. Shielding gases include argon/carbon dioxide blends, argon/oxygen blends, 100% carbon dioxide, and three or four-part gas blends. | | SuperGlide S6 | ER70S-6 | DC+ | Lincoln's premium bare, mild steel MIG wire, SuperGlide® S6 is an excellent choice for welding on metals with a medium to high presence of millscale. For best performance use on clean, oil-free, and rust-free base material. S6 will tolerate higher levels of surface contaminants than ER70S-3 or S-4 electrodes. Best weld appearance and toe wetting when compared to ER70S-3 and ER70S-4 classifications. High silicon and manganese deoxidizer levels. SuperGlide® S6 MIG wire is the choice for you when a bare or non-copper coated ER70S-6 wire is preferred. Shielding gases include argon/carbon dioxide blends, argon/oxygen blends, 100% carbon dioxide, and three or four-part gas blends. | | SuperArc L-50 | ER70S-3 | DC+ | Our most popular MIG wire, SuperArc® L-50, premium copper coated wire, is an excellent choice for 50,000 psi (345 MPa) yield strength, carbon steel base materials. SuperArc® L-50 has moderate levels of silicon and manganese for deoxidation and cleaning action. Designed for use on clean, oil-free, and rust-free base material. Will tolerate light millscale. SuperArc® L-50 also has an excellent reputation for feedability and trouble-free performance. Shielding gases include argon/carbon dioxide blends, argon/oxygen blends, 100% carbon dioxide, and three or four-part gas blends. | | SuperArc L-56 | ER70S-6 | DC+ | Lincoln's premium copper coated MIG wire, SuperArc® L-56 is an excellent choice for welding on metals with a medium to high presence of millscale. For best performance use on clean, oil-free, and rust-free base material. Best weld appearance and toe wetting when compared to ER70S-3 and ER70S-4 classifications. SuperArc® L-56 has high silicon and manganese deoxidizer levels. Superior feedability and excellent arc characteristics are trade-marks of SuperArc® L-56. Shielding gases include argon/carbon dioxide blends, argon/oxygen blends, 100% carbon dioxide, and three or four-part gas blends. | | SuperArc L-59 | ER70S-6 | DC+ | SuperArc® L-59 is a copper coated, mild steel, engineered alloy MIG wire that leads the industry in arc performance, wire feedability and consistency, as well as extending contact tip life. Increased arc deoxidizing and wetting action, enhanced silicon island management and minimal spatter give L-59 high deposition rates similar to metal-cored wire while also reducing clean-up time. For a solid wire alternative to metal-core, with superior operating characteristics, fast travel speeds and tolerance to high amounts of surface contaminants - choose SuperArc® L-59. | | Low Alloy Steel Wire | | SuperArc LA-100 | ER100S-G | DC+ | SuperArc® LA-100, our premium copper coated, low alloy MIG wire is designed for use on 100,000 psi (690 MPa) tensile base material and those materials that require a minimum yield strength of 82,000 psi (565 MPa). Excellent for welding on ASTM A514, A543, A724 and A782 quenched and tempered plate or HY-80 base material. LA-100 provides excellent impact properties under higher heat input conditions. Best mechanical properties are achieved with an 98-95% argon, 2-5% oxygen shielding gas blend or 95% argon/5% carbon dioxide. Also meets MIL-E-23765/2C, /2D, /2E specifications as a MIL-100S-1 classification. | | SuperArc LA-75 | ER80S-Ni1 | DC+ | SuperArc® LA-75 is a premium copper coated, low alloy MIG wire certified to meet 80,000 psi (552 MPa) minimum tensile strength. Optimal mechanical properties are achieved with a 98-95% argon, 2-5% oxygen shielding gas blend. Can be welded with 90% argon, 10% carbon dioxide gas blend, as well as 75% argon, 25% carbon dioxide mixture. Charpy V-Notch impact testing meets or exceeds 20 ft lbs (27 J) at -50°F (-46°C). Provides best weld deposit with atmospheric corrosion resistance for ASTM A588 weathering steels. | | SuperArc LA-90 | ER80S-D2 | DC+ | SuperArc® LA-90 is our premium copper coated, low alloy MIG wire manufactured to meet tensile strength requirements of 80,000 to 90,000 psi (552-620 MPa) minimum. The addition of 0.5% molybdenum provides strength after stress relief. Ideal selection when welding ASTM A182, A217, A234 and A335 high temperature pipe, fittings, flanges and valves and A336 pressure vessel forgings. Best mechanical properties are achieved with an 98-95% argon, 2-5% oxygen shielding gas blend. | | | |
