OVERVIEW

Run Cleaner, Run Longer with Quantum Arc 6

If you are tired of constantly changing out contact tips or blowing out your liner because of copper flake buildup, it is time to switch to Hobart Quantum Arc 6. This isn't your standard MIG wire; it's a copper-free beast designed to keep your machine running smooth and your arc steady. We know that in a busy shop, downtime is the enemy. That's why Hobart ditched the copper coating on this ER70S-6 wire. No copper means no flaking, which means your liner stays clean and your wire feeds consistently, hour after hour. It’s perfect for those long welds where you can't afford a burn-back or a stutter.

This specific spool comes in the .040-inch diameter. It’s a sweet spot for guys who feel .035 is too slow but .045 is too hot for the fit-up. It gives you that extra deposition rate to lay down metal fast while keeping the puddle controllable. Because it's an S-6 wire, it’s got the extra deoxidizers you need when the steel isn't perfectly prepped. Got a little rust? A bit of mill scale? Quantum Arc 6 burns right through it, leaving you with a solid weld and very little spatter to chip off later.

The 45lb fiber spool is built for production. It loads easy and feeds straight. Whether you are welding on heavy equipment, fixing agricultural machinery, or fabricating structural frames, this wire gives you a buttery smooth arc that makes you look good. The bead wets out nicely at the toes, reducing the chance of cold lap. Stop fighting your feed system and start welding with a wire that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

This wire is classified as AWS A5.18 ER70S-6.

No, Hobart Quantum Arc 6 is a copper-free wire, designed to reduce liner clogging and contact tip wear.

It can be used with 100% CO2 for deeper penetration or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mix for a smoother arc and less spatter.

The wire diameter is 0.040 inches (approximately 1.0 mm).

This is a 45lb Fiber Spool (Fs), which fits standard industrial wire feeder hubs.

Yes, as an ER70S-6 wire, it has high levels of manganese and silicon to help weld through light-to-moderate rust and mill scale.

Copper-free wire eliminates copper flaking, which improves feedability, extends liner and tip life, and reduces copper fumes.

Yes, the consistent feedability and arc stability make it excellent for robotic and automated applications.
