Elaborate please....Looks like a small reel off an orbital welder.Polysoude or AMI?

Ah a tig wire feeder.
I have seen on here when some one asks if the can use Mig wire for there Tigging it is recommended not to as the makeup of Tig filler wire is not quite the same as Mig wire and although it would work it is better not to. So the reverse MAY be true, hence the Tig filler is not so good for Mig ?
I thought the "ER", in tig rods such as "ER70-S6", meant electrode/rod, meaning it can be used on both?True............mild steel TIG wire is designed for Inert gas whilst mild steel MIG is designed for active gas (should be called MAG). The difference is that the MAG wire is designed to lose some of the alloying additions.........which form the slag
Being strictly technical ER70S-6 is designed for an active gas. The Mn and Si are high which will give a relativley brittle weld if used with an inert gas. It should be used with active gas which will "lose" some of these additions. It is used as TIG but only on non-critical applications. It really shouldnt be used if sub zero applications are possible.I thought the "ER", in tig rods such as "ER70-S6", meant electrode/rod, meaning it can be used on both?
