Silico-Manganese Steel Welding Wire

A high-strength welding wire made from silico-manganese steel, used in arc welding applications for structural steel fabrication. It falls under HTS 7229.20.00 as it is wire of silico-manganese alloy steel, which contains silicon and manganese as key alloying elements. The wire is typically drawn to precise diameters for consistent weld bead formation.
