Spoolarc WS is an ER80S-G special purpose wire designed to weld "weathering" grade steels.
Spoolarc WS is a special purpose wire designed to weld "weathering" grade steels. The weld metal properties provide the color matching characteristics desired for ASTM A588, A242, Cor-Ten and Mayari R® steels. The mechanical properties meet the Federal Highway (AASHTO) Charpy impact standards of 25 ft.-lbs. (34 J) @ -20ºF (-29ºC). Applications for Spoolarc WS include butt and fillet welds on structural support members and other fabrication requirements for welding weathering grade steels.
