Honda/Acura: Additional High-Strength-Steel Welding Wire Approved
I-CAR · June 14, 2019 · Honda, Acura
Summary
Honda and Acura have expanded their approved high-strength-steel welding wire options to include Titan Technology EQ-5029X96 and Washing Alloy Eagle-Arc 980X, alongside the existing Bohler Union X96. These 0.8 mm diameter wires are approved for welding steel of 590 MPa and higher, and can also be used on lower grade steels.
What to do on the job
Use only approved 0.8 mm high-strength-steel welding wires (Bohler Union X96, Titan Technology EQ-5029X96, Washing Alloy Eagle-Arc 980X, or discontinued Bosch DS980J) when welding steel of 590 MPa and higher, and restrict 1,500 MPa welding to vehicle-specific OEM procedures.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the procurement and use of specific, OEM-approved welding wires (such as Bohler Union X96, Titan Technology, or Washing Alloy) on estimates and supplements when repairing structural components rated at 590 MPa or higher.
