Purus 46
A copper coated G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for GMAW of carbon-manganese steels. Purus 46 is particularly suited to be used in general construction, automotive components and mobile machinery industries. It has a slightly higher manganese and silicon content than Purus 42 to increase the weld metal strength.The wire may be welded with either a gas mixture or with pure CO2 as shielding gas. Purus 46 is designed to give a clean weld bead with a minimum of silica islands and spatter. The wire is suitable for robotic applications at high deposition rates.
