AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

(OP)
Yesterday I posted the following message on the Welding forum but no response yet.  Maybe someone here can help since this is for an airplane:

Fellow worker needs to finish an engineering drawing and lost his email notes.

We are welding 4130 tubing to other thin shapes for a support structure.

Weld per AMS-STD-2219.  I will strongly suggest that this specification be ordered which will likely answer the question 1 and 2 below.

Use Filler Rod ER70-S2.  This designation is in question.
He thinks it might have a 3 that he is leaving out.

1)  Is this filler rod call-out an AMS spec?
2)  What is the closest designation to that shown above that would be correct for this application?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Leonard

RE: AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

(OP)
The typo is this: Filler Rod per ER70-S2 and should be
            this: Filler Rod per ER70S-2.  Supposedly.

Therefore new questions are:

1)  Is this AMS or AWS or who's spec?
2)  Is filler metal called out or referenced in AMS-STD-
    219?  

Jesus is THE life,
Leonard

RE: AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

A filler metal that can be used to weld 4130 is AMS 6457;ER 70S-2 is not an AMS spec.

RE: AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

AWS specs out for ER70S-2 or ER70S-6 filler for normal 4130 welding with no heat treat necessary on very thin tubing. I personally prefer ER80S-D2  for 4130 as it is a bit stronger and I still heat treat the welded area even though it is not specifically required.  I build roll cages and in most cases I prefer to use thicker walled 1020 DOM TS.  It's cheaper and weight is not a factor. The rules require ballast anyway and it's best to put the weight in a stronger, heavier cage in my case. Also I can stick to ER70S-2 and CO2 for cost savings.

RE: AMS or AWS? spec for filler rod

AMS-STD-2219 has been superseded by AWS D17.1.  filler wire for 4130 would be 4130 wire (AMS 6457) or Timken 17-22AS (AMS 6458).
