Oxford Alloy ER70S-3 is a silicon and manganese deoxidized wire used for mild and low alloy steel general purpose fabrication. A well balanced silicon and manganese content permits its use with CO2, argon-oxygen mixtures, or mixtures of the two. The Oxford Alloy ER70S-3 produces quality welds with rimmed steels, better welds on semi-deoxidized steels and excellent welds on fully deoxidized steels. This wire also yields an almost slag-free deposit, which does not require cleaning for many applications thereby providing low plate preparation costs, good bead appearance and welder satisfaction
