OK AristoRod 12.62 is a bare triple deoxidised ER70S-2 solid wire for the GMAW of non-alloyed steels, as used in general construction, pressure vessel fabrication and shipbuilding. It yields high-quality welds in semi-killed and rimmed steels, as well as with grades with various carbon contents. Added deoxidants, Al - Ti- Zr, make the wire also suitable for steels with a dirty or rusty surface, without sacrificing weld quality. OK AristoRod 12.62 is treated with ESAB’s unique Advanced Surface Characteristics (ASC) technology, taking MIG/MAG welding operations to new levels of performance and all-round efficiency, especially in robotic and mechanised welding. Characteristic features include excellent start properties; trouble-free feeding at high wire speeds and lengthy feed distances; a very stable arc at high welding currents; extremely low levels of spatter; low fume emission; reduced contact tip wear and improved protection against corrosion of the wire.
