SUP604544 - Super 6 ER70S-6 .045 Mild Steel MIG Wire 20kg Spool

Premium Quality ER70S-6 Solid MIG Wire for Professional Fabrication

Elevate your welding projects with the Super 6 ER70S-6 .045" (1.2mm) MIG Welding Wire, packaged in a substantial 20kg spool for extended runtime. This solid mild steel wire is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern fabrication shops, offering a blend of high tensile strength, excellent ductility, and superior operator appeal. Classified under AWS A5.18, this wire is the industry standard for welding carbon and low-alloy steels, providing a versatile solution for a wide array of metalworking tasks.

Enhanced Deoxidation for Clean Welds

The "S-6" designation signifies a higher level of silicon and manganese compared to S-3 or S-2 wires. These added elements act as powerful deoxidizers, scavenging oxygen and impurities from the molten weld pool. This characteristic makes the Super 6 ER70S-6 particularly forgiving when welding on base materials that have light rust, mill scale, or other surface contaminants. The result is a cleaner, porosity-free weld deposit with excellent mechanical properties. Additionally, the high silicon content contributes to a more fluid weld puddle, allowing for better "wetting out" at the toes of the weld and a flatter, more aesthetically pleasing bead profile.

Smooth Feeding and Low Spatter

Welders know that wire feeding issues can kill productivity. The Super 6 wire features a precision copper coating that reduces friction inside the MIG gun liner and ensures optimal electrical contact at the tip. This results in a stable arc with minimal sputtering, even at higher amperages. The low spatter generation translates to less time spent grinding and cleaning finished parts, improving overall shop efficiency. The 20kg spool size is ideal for industrial wire feeders, reducing the frequency of changeovers compared to standard 15kg spools.

Ideal for Spray and Short-Circuit Transfer

The .045" diameter is a versatile size, capable of handling thin gauge sheet metal in short-circuit transfer mode (with lower voltage) or heavy plate in spray transfer mode (with higher voltage and Argon-rich gas). This flexibility makes it a go-to consumable for:

• General structural steel fabrication
• Heavy equipment manufacturing and repair
• Automotive chassis and suspension work
• Pipe welding
• Tank and vessel fabrication

Compatible with standard CV (Constant Voltage) power sources, this wire runs smoothly on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) polarity. Whether you are using straight CO2 for maximum penetration and economy, or a C25 (75% Argon / 25% CO2) mix for a premium finish, the Super 6 ER70S-6 delivers consistent, high-quality results bead after bead.
