OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding .023" MIG Wire for Auto Body and Thin Gauge Steel

For welders tackling thin gauge materials, the Bonarc ER70S-6 .023" MIG Wire offers the perfect balance of control and quality. The .023-inch diameter is the gold standard for automotive bodywork, exhaust systems, and light sheet metal fabrication, allowing for lower heat input to prevent burn-through and warping. This 15kg spool provides a long-lasting supply for busy shops, ensuring you have the material you need to complete large projects without interruption.

Welders will appreciate the forgiving nature of this S-6 wire. The "S-6" designation means it contains higher levels of silicon and manganese compared to standard S-3 wires. This chemistry acts as a cleaning agent during the weld, helping to float out impurities and minimize porosity, which is a common headache when welding older metal or imperfect surfaces. The result is a clean, sound weld with very low spatter levels, keeping your workpiece clean and your nozzle free from excessive buildup.

The physical quality of the wire on the spool is just as important as its metallurgy. Bonarc utilizes precision winding technology to layer the wire perfectly on the spool. This eliminates the "bird-nesting" and erratic feeding that can frustrate welders and ruin beads. With smooth feeding, you get a crisp, steady arc that responds instantly to your technique. Compatible with standard MIG welders capable of running .023" wire, this product performs exceptionally well with C25 gas (75% Argon / 25% CO2) for a buttery smooth arc, or straight CO2 for those on a budget.

FAQ

For the best performance and smoothest arc on thin steel, a mix of 75% Argon and 25% CO2 (C25) is recommended. However, 100% CO2 can also be used for better penetration and lower cost.

Yes, the ER70S-6 classification contains high levels of manganese and silicon deoxidizers, which help tolerate light to moderate rust and mill scale better than ER70S-3 wire.

This is a 15kg spool, which is approximately 33 lbs. It typically fits standard industrial wire feeders and larger MIG machines.

No, this is a mild steel wire. You need aluminum wire (like ER4043 or ER5356) and pure argon gas to weld aluminum.

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

No, this is a solid wire and requires an external shielding gas cylinder to protect the weld pool.

The wire diameter is 0.023 inches (0.6mm), making it ideal for thin sheet metal applications.
