Williams 70S-3
Specification: AWS A5.18
Class ER70S-3
Williams 70S-3 is a mild steel wire primarily used for MIG and TIG welding (GMAW and GTAW). It contains deoxidizers,
Manganese and Silicon to provide porous-free welds under normal welding conditions. MIG welding can be performed with
either CO2 or Argon-CO2.

Williams 70S-6
Specification: AWS A5.18
Class ER70S-6
Williams 70S-6 is a mild steel wire primarily used for MIG and TIG welding (GMAW and GTAW). It contains higher levels of
deoxidizers compared to other mild steel wires resulting in better fluidity and bead appearance. It performs well in CO2 shield-
ing gas but can also be used with Argon-CO2.

Williams 80SD-2
Specification: AWS A5.28
Class ER80SD-2
Williams 80SD-2 is a low alloy wire with Manganese and Molybdenum as the principal alloying elements. This wire produces
weld deposits exhibiting good strength and low temperature properties, and can be used whenever higher strength and low
temperature toughness are necessary. The higher Manganese, Silicon combination also provides a smooth, uniform weld
bead. MIG welding can be conducted with CO2, Argon-CO2, or Argon-02; TIG welding with 100% Argon.

Controlled chemistries in stainless steel filler metals are designed to maximize corrosion resistance, and maintain
desirable ferrite levels for added crack resistance. In addition, strict attention is given to wire finish, tensile, cast and
helix, to facilitate demanding robotic applications.

Austenitic Filler Metal Selection
STAINLESS STEEL METALLURGICAL GROUPS
Austenitic
The Austenitic group contains chromium and nickel as the primary alloying elements and are the most widely used.
They can be hardened by cold working but not by heat treatment. All are essentially non-magnetic. The most common
types of Austenitic stainless are the UNS S20000 and S30000 alloys. They are generally considered the most weldable
of the stainless steels.

Precipitation Hardening Filler Metal Selection

Martensitic
The Martensitic group is also classified under the 400 series. The principal alloying element is chrome, with carbon
added to produce high levels of strength and hardness after heat treatment. Both Martensitic and Ferritic types are
magnetic. Similar precaution, including preheat, is necessary in the welding process.
Precipitation Hardening & Duplex
These unique grades were designed for specific applications. Care should be exercised in the welding process to select
the proper filler metal and welding procedures.

Ferritic
The Ferritic group are straight grade chrome grades and come under the type 400 series. They cannot be hardened
by heat treating and only moderately by cold working. Precautions are required in the welding process to minimize
embrittlement and cracking.
