Description

Mild Steel MIG Welding Wire – AWS ER70S-6

Available Diameters: 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm
Standard: AWS A5.18 / ASME SFA 5.18 – ER70S-6
Type: Solid Copper-Coated Mild Steel MIG Wire

Product Overview:

ER70S-6 is a high-quality solid MIG (GMAW) welding wire engineered for mild and low alloy steels. It contains higher levels of deoxidizers (manganese and silicon) compared to other carbon steel wires, making it especially suitable for welding over slightly rusty or dirty surfaces.

This wire is widely used in general fabrication, automotive work, construction, and structural steel applications where consistent arc stability, minimal spatter, and high weld quality are required.

Key Features:

✅ High Silicon & Manganese Content: Enhances deoxidation for cleaner welds and improved puddle fluidity.
✅ Smooth Feedability: Precision-layer wound for stable wire feeding, reducing downtime and bird-nesting.
✅ Excellent Arc Stability: Delivers consistent weld performance across a range of positions.
✅ Low Spatter: Reduces post-weld cleanup, improving productivity.
✅ Bright, Clean Weld Finish: Ideal for applications requiring aesthetic appearance.
✅ Versatile Applications: Works well on both clean and slightly contaminated base materials.

Typical Applications:

Automotive panels and frames
Steel structures and bridges
Agricultural equipment
Railroad components
Pressure vessels and piping
Sheet metal and general manufacturing
