W1060 (R45) is a general purpose, unstamped copper coated, TIG (GTAW) low carbon steel alloy that is widely used on mild steel. It offers good ductility and machinability.

Features

  • Copper coated, low carbon steel, rod for oxy-fuel welding of mild steel
  • Can be used on steel plate, sheet and pipe where high strength is not required
  • Produces high quality welds that are ductile and porosity-free
  • Conforms to AWS A5.2, R45
  • Good ductility and machinability
  • Weld on clean base metal to ensure the best results
  • No flux required but puddling of the molten metal will bring any scale or impurities to the surface
  • Typical applications include welding low carbon steel, automotive repair and ornamental art
  • Tensile Strength: 45,000 psi max
  • Material: Copper coated low carbon steel
