OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding .035" MIG Wire for Production Welding

When your production line demands speed and your steel is clean, Hobart Quantum Arc 3 is the wire you reach for. This .035-inch solid wire is built for welders who need a consistent, smooth-running arc without the hassle of constant contact tip burn-back or bird-nesting. The "Quantum Arc" series is famous for its feedability, making it a favorite for both manual welders and automated robotic cells. If you are welding automotive frames, metal furniture, or light sheet metal, this wire offers the control you need to move fast without sacrificing quality.

One of the biggest frustrations in MIG welding is dealing with the glassy silica deposits that form on top of the weld bead. Because Quantum Arc 3 is an ER70S-3 class wire, it has a chemical composition that naturally produces fewer of these islands compared to standard ER70S-6 wires. This means less chipping and wire brushing between passes or before painting. It runs beautifully on straight CO2 for deep penetration but really shines with a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix for a smooth, flat bead with minimal spatter.

This product comes on a durable 33 lb steel reel (Sr), which fits standard industrial wire feeders. The steel reel prevents the flange breakage often seen with plastic spools, ensuring your wire feeds true until the very end. Whether you are fabricating railcars, storage bins, or general structural components, Hobart Quantum Arc 3 delivers the professional results and reliability that keep the arc on and the job moving.

FAQ

Hobart Quantum Arc 3 is classified as AWS ER70S-3. This indicates it is a mild steel solid wire with lower silicon and manganese levels compared to ER70S-6, making it best suited for clean steel.

This wire operates well with 100% CO2 for deeper penetration or a mixture of 75% Argon / 25% CO2 for a smoother arc and reduced spatter.

ER70S-3 wires like Quantum Arc 3 are designed for clean steel. If welding on rusty, oily, or mill-scaled steel, an ER70S-6 wire would be a better choice as it has more deoxidizers to handle contaminants.

The '33 Sr' designation refers to a 33-pound Steel Reel. Steel reels are more durable than plastic spools and are commonly used in industrial settings to prevent breakage.

Yes, Hobart Quantum Arc 3 is excellent for robotic and automatic applications due to its consistent diameter, cast, and helix, which ensure reliable feeding.

This specific product is 0.035 inches (0.9 mm) in diameter.

This solid wire requires DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity.
