E42 electrode equivalent

[Welderpaul]

We've got a structural job on the horizon with some pretty important welds. The weld spec we have been given is 6mm CFW with E42 electrodes. Obviously we are not going to stick weld it, it will be migged. Am i right in thinking that an E42 category gives/calls for a minimum yield strength of 420 N/mm and a tensile strength of 500-640 N/mm?

Is SG3 wire it's equivalent??

SG3 wire is an old name : Din 8449 : SG3
Niewe standard and designation EN ISO 14341 - A / G 46 4 M G4si1

yes this wire has a yield strength of 460 N/mm minimum.
