Application

  • Shipbuilding
  • Pressure Vessel
  • Energy Industry
  • Heavy Machinery

DETAILS

THQ-50CG4 (SG3) is a high-tensile carbon steel MIG welding wire designed for use with CO₂ or Ar/CO₂ shielding gas. Featuring elevated manganese and silicon levels, it delivers superior arc stability and high strength for heavy structural steel fabrication.

Features

  • Higher Manganese and Silicon levels (G4Si1) for superior tensile strength
  • Enhanced deoxidizing capability for excellent performance on dirty or mill-scale steel
  • Smooth, highly stable arc with minimal spatter and easy cleanup
  • Excellent wire feedability and consistent arc initiation
  • Compatible with CO₂ and Ar/CO₂ shielding gas mixtures

Typical Applications

  • Heavy structural steel fabrication and bridge construction
  • Pressure vessel, boiler, and container manufacturing
  • Automotive chassis, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery
  • High-strength carbon steel and low-alloy steel joining
  • General engineering and high-load mechanical components

Welding Positions

  • PA / PB / PC / PD / PE / PF / PG

 

WARNING

  • Rust, oil, moisture, and other contaminants must be removed from the weld zone before welding.
  • The mechanical properties of all-weld metal are determined by heat input; lower heat input is generally preferred to higher heat input.
