OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding Wire for Tough Jobs

When you're burning wire all day, you need a consumable that feeds right and doesn't fight you. The Murex .035" ER70S-6 MIG Wire is built for the welder who needs to get the job done without constantly stopping to clean the tip or fix a birdnest. This 44lb spool is the standard size for shop welders, giving you plenty of run time for big projects. The "S6" in the name means this wire is loaded with extra cleaners (manganese and silicon) that help eat through that annoying mill scale, rust, and grime that you often find on shop steel. If you don't have time to grind every inch of metal to a shiny finish, this is the wire you want in your machine.

One of the best things about this Murex wire is how smooth it runs. The copper coating isn't just for looks; it helps the wire slide through your liner and make good contact with the tip, giving you a crisp, sizzling arc that's easy to control. It wets out nicely at the edges, so you don't end up with a tall, ropey bead that takes forever to grind down. It's versatile enough to handle thin sheet metal on a car frame or thick structural beams on a trailer.

You can run this wire with straight CO2 if you need to dig deep and save money on gas, or switch to a C25 mix (75% Argon / 25% CO2) if you want that classic smooth hiss with almost no spatter. It works in all positions—flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead—making it a true workhorse for everything from farm repairs to heavy equipment maintenance. Stop fighting with cheap wire and load up a spool that's designed to run as hard as you do.

FAQ

This ER70S-6 wire works well with 100% CO2 for deeper penetration and lower cost, or an Argon/CO2 mix (typically 75/25) for a smoother arc, less spatter, and better bead appearance.

Yes, the ER70S-6 classification indicates higher levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers, making it excellent for welding on steel with moderate rust, mill scale, or oil compared to S3 or S4 wires.

This is a 44lb (20kg) spool, typically used on industrial wire feeders and larger MIG machines. It requires a standard 2-inch spindle hub adapter.

Yes, this solid wire can be used for all-position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead), provided you use the correct transfer mode (usually short-circuit for out-of-position work).

ER70S-6 contains higher levels of deoxidizers (manganese and silicon) than ER70S-3. This allows S6 to handle dirtier base metals better and provides a more fluid puddle with better wetting action.

The wire diameter is 0.035 inches (0.9 mm), which is a versatile size suitable for welding thin sheet metal up to medium-thickness plate.

Yes, it is copper-coated. This coating improves electrical conductivity at the contact tip and aids in smooth feeding through the liner.

As an ER70S-6 class wire, the minimum tensile strength is typically 70,000 psi (480 MPa), suitable for most mild steel structural applications.
