What is ER70S-3 vs ER70S-6: Key Differences about?

ER70S-3 and ER70S-6 wires can be used interchangeably for most applications as they provide similar mechanical properties. While ER70S-6 performs better in welding over rust and mill scale due to its higher silicon content, it also leaves behind larger silicon islands. Historically, ER70S-3 was cheaper but prices are now nearly identical. The legitimate reasons to still use ER70S-3 are to avoid silicon islands popping through paint and compliance with welding procedure specifications calling for ER70S-3.
