OVERVIEW

Reliable Bonarc .045" Solid Steel MIG Wire - 20kg Spool

Upgrade your welding operations with the Bonarc ER70S-6 .045" Solid MIG Wire, a staple consumable for professional welders and fabricators. This 20kg spool offers a significant advantage over smaller packaging options, allowing you to weld longer without interruption. Known for its consistent quality and performance, Bonarc wire is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure diameter consistency and uniform copper coating. This attention to detail translates to a stable arc and smooth wire feeding, which are crucial for maintaining productivity and reducing frustration on the shop floor.

The ER70S-6 classification is the industry standard for general-purpose mild steel welding. Its chemical composition includes elevated levels of silicon and manganese, which serve to scavenge impurities from the molten weld pool. This makes the Bonarc 70S-6 particularly forgiving when welding on steel that isn't perfectly clean, handling light rust and mill scale with ease. The result is a strong, ductile weld deposit with excellent impact toughness. This wire is suitable for all-position welding when using short-circuit transfer (dip transfer) settings, although the .045" diameter is most commonly used in the flat and horizontal positions for higher deposition rates using spray transfer or globular transfer modes.

Versatility is a key benefit of this product. It operates effectively with straight CO2 gas for deep penetration and cost savings, or with Argon/CO2 blends for a smoother arc, reduced spatter, and better bead aesthetics. This flexibility makes it a go-to choice for a wide range of applications, including structural steel fabrication, agricultural equipment repair, tank manufacturing, and general maintenance. By choosing the Bonarc 20kg spool, you are investing in a product that balances performance, quality, and economic value, ensuring your welds stand the test of time while keeping your project costs in check.

FAQ

This wire can be used with 100% CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or with an Argon/CO2 mix (typically 75% Argon / 25% CO2) for a smoother arc and less spatter.

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

This is a 20kg spool, which is approximately 44 lbs.

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

No, ER70S-6 is designed for welding mild and carbon steels. You would need a stainless steel wire (like ER308L) for stainless applications.

The 'S-6' indicates the chemical composition, specifically higher levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers compared to S-2 or S-3 wires, making it better for welding on slightly dirty or rusty steel.

This wire has a diameter of 0.045 inches (approx. 1.2mm).
