OVERVIEW

Superior Control and Cleanliness for the Professional Welder

As a welder, you know that the quality of your wire dictates the quality of your day. The NS ARC® NS115 Silver-Glide™ is designed to make your job easier and your welds look better. This 0.035-inch ER70S-6 wire features a unique CopperFree™ finish, which means you no longer have to deal with the annoying buildup of copper dust in your liner or gun. Traditional copper-coated wires can flake off, clogging your equipment and causing erratic feeding that ruins your rhythm. With Silver-Glide™, the wire feeds smoothly and consistently, giving you a stable arc that starts instantly and stays focused exactly where you put it.

The "Silver-Glide" name isn't just marketing; it refers to the premium lubricity and surface treatment that allows the wire to slide effortlessly through your torch, even in twisted or long cable positions. Beyond feedability, the chemistry of the NS115 is tuned for performance. It contains higher levels of silicon and manganese, which act as powerful de-oxidizers. This means if you are welding on steel that isn't perfectly prepped—maybe it has some rust, mill scale, or oil—the wire helps float those impurities to the surface, leaving you with a sound, porosity-free weld. The high silicon content also lowers the surface tension of the molten puddle, allowing the bead to wet out smoothly at the toes for a flat, professional profile that requires minimal grinding.

Spatter control is another area where this wire shines. The stable arc transfer minimizes the BBs and spatter that usually require chipping and scraping after the hood comes up. Whether you are running short circuit, globular, or spray transfer, the NS115 adapts to your settings to deliver a clean, high-appeal bead. It is suitable for all-position welding and excels in both single-pass and multi-pass applications. When you load a 45 lb spool of NS115, you are loading a wire that respects your skill and helps you lay down your best work, bead after bead.

FAQ

CopperFree™ wire eliminates copper flaking, which prevents clogging in gun liners and contact tips. This results in smoother feeding, a more stable arc, and reduced equipment maintenance.

NS115 ER70S-6 is compatible with 100% CO2 for deeper penetration or Argon/CO2 mixtures (such as 75/25 or 90/10) for reduced spatter and better bead appearance.

The 45 lb spool has a diameter of approximately 11.75 inches, which fits most standard industrial wire feeders.

Yes, the NS115 has a high content of manganese and silicon de-oxidizers, making it excellent for welding over medium-to-heavy mill scale, rust, and oil.

Absolutely. The precision cast (35"-55") and helix (<1") combined with the CopperFree finish ensure consistent wire positioning and feedability, which is critical for automated and robotic systems.

The wire produces weld metal with a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi, meeting the AWS ER70S-6 classification requirements.

NS ARC utilizes advanced surface inhibitors and packaging to protect the wire from corrosion, ensuring it maintains its quality during storage similar to copper-coated alternatives.

Higher silicon reduces the surface tension of the molten weld pool, allowing the bead to 'wet out' flatter at the edges, improving the overall bead appearance and reducing the need for grinding.
