OVERVIEW

E70C-6M Metal Core Wire - 1/16" - 15kg Spool

Take your welding projects to the next level with our reliable E70C-6M metal core wire. This 1/16-inch wire comes on a standard 15kg spool and is designed to help you lay down more metal in less time. It is the perfect solution for fabricators working on railcars, automotive parts, barges, and general steel construction who need speed and quality in flat or horizontal positions.

One of the biggest advantages of this metal core wire is its ability to handle imperfect steel. If you are welding material with some rust or mill scale, this wire punches through to create a sound, strong weld with excellent bead appearance. You will appreciate the fluid weld puddle that washes in smoothly at the toes, reducing the chance of cold lap or lack of fusion.

Say goodbye to excessive spatter and heavy slag chipping. This wire produces a clean finish that requires minimal grinding, letting you move on to the next part faster. It requires an Argon/CO2 shielding gas mix and operates on DCEP polarity. Whether you are in a production shop or a repair facility, this wire delivers the consistent performance and arc stability you need to get the job done right.

FAQ

This E70C-6M metal core wire typically requires an Argon/CO2 mixture (e.g., 75% Argon / 25% CO2 or 90% Argon / 10% CO2) for optimal spray transfer and arc stability.

This wire is designed primarily for flat and horizontal fillet welds. It is not intended for vertical-up or overhead welding due to the fluidity of the puddle.

As a metal core wire, it produces minimal slag in the form of small silicon islands, unlike flux-cored wires which produce a heavy slag covering. Cleanup is generally very easy.

The wire diameter is 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm).

Yes, it has excellent tolerance for rust and mill scale, providing good wetting and sidewall fusion even on contaminated base metals.

This wire operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

The spool weighs 15kg, which is approximately 33 lbs.

Metal core wire generally offers higher deposition rates, faster travel speeds, and better wetting action/gap bridging compared to solid MIG wire.
