Regular ER 70S-6 welding wire vs UltraClean III
Silicates are mainly the result of the burning off of alloying elements in the arc that adhere to the weld seam as floating slag remainders. Sometimes we see them along the weld but sometimes also in the middle of the weld. The annoying thing is that it is often difficult to remove these silicates. The position of the torch, the voltage, the travel speed but also the shielding gas influence the amount of silicates that remain on the weld.
Soapy residues and other contaminants on the wire surface also have a major influence on the amount of silicates, the name Ultra Clean not only says something about the inside of the welding wire but especially something about the outside of the welding wire, because Ultra Clean III is spotless! With CEWELD Ultra Clean III, you will be genuinely amazed at the beautiful clean weld that is left with remarkably little silicates.
