OK AristoRod 12.63 GMAW
ER70S-6
Description
OK AristoRod? 12.63 is a bare Mn-Si-alloyed
G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for the GMAW of nonalloyed
steels, as used in general construction,
automotive components, pressure vessel fabrication
and shipbuilding. It has a slightly higher
manganese and silicon content than OK
AristoRod 12.50 to increase the weld metal
strength. This also promotes a low sensitivity to
surface impurities and contributes to smooth,
sound welds.
OK AristoRod 12.63 is treated with ESAB’s unique
Advanced Surface Characteristics (ASC)
technology, taking 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.
