ER80S-D2 is a mild steel solid wire used in situations where porosity is a problem or when you must counter high-sulfur or carbon content in your base metal.  It contains high levels of manganese and silicon to provide good wetting and good rust and scale tolerance.  This product is available on spools and in 36” cut lengths.  36” lengths are embossed at both ends for easy identification.
