I question the filler used on my 25.5 chromoly cage. It looks to be stainless, it's definitely not ER70/ER80. As I'm waiting for a response from the fabricator to inform me of the filler used, I received some 2nd hand information about it. Here's what I received:
"The rod has 50% ' more tensile strenght than S2 and elongation is 36 % as oposed to the 29% of S2. This is the get down shit and I am surprised we don't see more of it. The color also tells a lot about how much heat was used to weld it. If it has a blue tint you need more heat, brown was too hot. The goldish stainless look was perfect."
Its supposedly an Aerospace filler. Anyone have any idea what the filler maybe? I know its been beat to death before, but i would like to from those who do and don't use ER70/ER80 on chromoly cages.
If you don't use ER70/80 filler what do you use, and why?
