OVERVIEW

Reliable .035" MIG Wire for General Fabrication

Upgrade your welding results with the Bonarc ER70S-6 .035" Solid MIG Wire, designed to handle the rigors of daily fabrication work. This 5kg spool is the ideal "middle ground" size—lighter than the standard 33lb or 44lb industrial spools, yet offering significantly more runtime than small 2lb hobbyist spools. It fits most standard MIG welders equipped with the appropriate spool hub adapter, making it a favorite for automotive shops, maintenance departments, and light structural fabricators.

Welding sheet metal or structural frames requires a wire that can handle high currents without burn-through while minimizing spatter. The Bonarc S-6 formula excels here, generating very low spatter levels which translates to less time spent grinding and cleaning after the weld is done. The .035" (0.9mm) diameter is the industry standard for all-around versatility, capable of welding thin gauge sheet metal in short-circuit transfer mode or thicker plates in spray transfer mode.

The copper coating on the wire improves electrical conductivity at the contact tip, ensuring efficient energy transfer and extending the life of your consumables. Furthermore, the precision winding prevents the "bird-nesting" often associated with cheaper wires, ensuring that your wire feeder runs smoothly from the first inch to the last.

Application Versatility

  • Sheet Metal: Excellent control prevents burn-through on thinner gauges.
  • Structural Steel: High tensile strength meets the demands of load-bearing welds.
  • Maintenance & Repair: The high deoxidizer content handles imperfect surface conditions often found in repair work.

FAQ

This ER70S-6 wire can be used with 100% CO2 for deeper penetration and lower cost, or an Argon/CO2 mix (like C25) for a smoother arc, less spatter, and a flatter bead profile.

No, this is a solid steel wire (ER70S-6) and requires an external shielding gas to protect the weld pool.

This is a 5kg spool, which is approximately 11 lbs. It typically fits MIG welders that accept 8-inch diameter spools.

The 'S-6' refers to the AWS classification ER70S-6, indicating higher levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers compared to S-3 or S-2 wires, making it better for welding on mill scale or light rust.

Yes, solid MIG wire can be used in all positions (including overhead) when using Short Circuit Transfer mode.

It depends on your machine's spindle size. This 5kg spool usually requires an 8-inch spool adapter. Some very small hobby welders only take 4-inch (1kg/2lb) spools.

Yes, this Bonarc wire typically features a copper coating to improve electrical conductivity and protect the wire from rusting during storage.
