Purus 42, AWS ER70S-6 wire, is specially formulated to reduce post-welding cleaning. The superior wire composition reduces silica islands and spatter. Purus has excellent arc start ignition, arc stability and significantly less spatter. In robotic and high volume operations, Purus can significantly reduce post welding cleaning time by reducing silica islands and unplanned downtime in multipass welding. It can also increase uptime with longer tip life. With exceptional control of wire composition and the manufacturing process, Purus maintains a stable process between batches.
