Executive 80S/90S-D2 is designed to weld a variety of carbon and low alloy, higher strength steel using MIG and TIG welding processes for service in both the as welded and PWHT conditions. The wire offers a balanced chemistry that includes increased levels of manganese and silicon for better arc stability and good tolerance to rust and mill scale. Executive 80S/90S-D2 filler metal is produced using high quality raw materials and tightly controlled chemistry to provide top quality, exceptionally clean wires that deliver smooth feedability and the results fabricators demand. It has the same chemistry for both classifications with the difference being a change in shielding gas and mechanical properties. Using an argon based gas mixture in the MIG process results in higher values that meet ER90S-D2 classification.
