All the info I can find for ER70S-6 refers to MIG.  Can I TIG using pure argon with ER70S-6?

Reply:I believe argon and helium are your primary choices, anything with CO2 will NOT work (C25, etc.)Miller Multimatic 255
Reply:Argon helium mix will give you better penetration than strait argon. The mix is more expensive though.

Reply:Yes you can., I used that same wire just a few days ago on an outside corner joint of a 16 ga box i made. I used 035 MIG wire from my MIG welder. You can also spin two lengths of 035 or 030 together using a drill and weld with it if its too thin for ya otherwise. -not the best, but works in a pinch!GarLast edited by Gar; 07-23-2014 at 03:58 PM.Lincoln Electric, Power MIG 256Hypertherm Powermax 45 Miller Dynasty 280DXSmith O/A torchGenesis of a welding table
