242201168 - ESAB Dual Shield R-70 Ultra 1.6mm Flux-Cored Wire 27.2kg Spool

Smooth Arc and Easy Cleanup for Professional Welders

Experience the difference with ESAB Dual Shield R-70 Ultra, a flux-cored wire built to make your day under the hood smoother and more productive. If you are welding heavy plate in the flat or horizontal position, this 1.6mm wire offers a buttery smooth arc that is easy to control. One of the biggest frustrations with flux-cored welding is the cleanup; however, the R-70 Ultra features a slag system that provides complete coverage yet detaches easily—often peeling off by itself—saving you time on chipping and grinding.

Beyond just weldability, this wire is formulated to generate lower fumes than standard flux-cored wires. This means better visibility of the weld puddle and improved air quality in your breathing zone. The wire runs cleanly with very little spatter when your voltage and amperage are balanced, producing professional-looking beads with excellent tie-in. It is versatile enough to run on straight CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or on an Argon/CO2 mix for an even smoother appeal.

Packaged in a substantial 27.2kg spool, this wire is ready for the long haul on heavy structural steel, barge building, or earthmoving equipment repairs. When you need a wire that deposits fast, cleans up easy, and keeps the air clearer, reach for the Dual Shield R-70 Ultra.
