OK Aristorod 12.63
OK AristoRod 12.63 is a bare Mn-Si-alloyed G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for the GMAW of non-alloyed 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.
