Lincoln Electric Superglide® S3 Mild Steel MIG Wire

SuperGlide® S3 is an excellent choice for 50,000 psi (345 MPa) yield strength, carbon steel base materials. SuperGlide® S3 has moderate silicon and manganese deoxidizer levels and has an excellent reputation for feedability and trouble-free performance. Designed for use on clean, oil-free, and rust-free base material. Will tolerate light millscale. SuperGlide® S3 MIG wire is an excellent choice when a bare or non-copper coated ER70S-3 wire is preferred. Shielding gases include argon/carbon dioxide blends, argon/oxygen blends, 100% carbon dioxide, and three or four-part gas blends.

• MicroGuard® Ultra surface treatment for superior feeding and arc enhancement agents for excellent arc stability.
• Bare wire for less copper fumes.
• Will support all of the traditional modes of GMAW metal transfer: short-circuiting, globular, axial spray, and pulsed spray transfer.
• Well suited for applications where accurate and consistent wire feeding is necessary.
• Manufactured to standards for ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 9001 quality management systems.

Typical Application:

• For welding on base material that is clean or has light millscale.
• Sheetmetal to multiple pass applications on 55,000 to 70,000 psi (379 to 483 MPa) yield strength base metal.
• May be used in single arc or Tandem MIG™ applications.
• Pipe welding, pressure vessels, steel buildings and structural steel.
• Applications where copper-free coating wire is preferred.
