ER80S-D2 is a high-strength, low-alloy steel welding wire (for TIG/MIG) containing molybdenum and deoxidizers (Mn/Si) for strong, radiographic-quality welds in high-tensile applications like power plants, boilers, and pipelines, offering good arc stability and high-temperature performance up to 500°C.
Key Characteristics
High Strength: "80" means 80,000 psi minimum tensile strength.
Composition: Contains ~0.5% Molybdenum (Mo) for strength and Mn/Si as deoxidizers to prevent porosity.
Coating: Often copper-coated for better feeding and arc.
