Product Description
Weldcote Metals ER70S-6 is a premium copper-coated carbon steel wire engineered for high-quality MIG welding on a wide range of mild steel applications. Containing higher levels of manganese and silicon than standard grades, ER70S-6 provides superior deoxidizing properties, making it exceptionally tolerant of rust, mill scale, and oily surfaces.
The .023" (0.6mm) diameter is the professional's choice for thin-gauge materials, automotive body panels, and intricate sheet metal work. It offers a highly concentrated arc, low heat input to prevent warping, and a professional bead profile that requires minimal post-weld grinding.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior "Bite" on Dirty Metal: Higher silicon and manganese levels allow this wire to weld effectively through light rust, oil, and mill scale that would cause porosity in other wires.
-
Optimized for Thin Gauge: The .023" diameter provides a stable, small arc that is perfect for automotive sheet metal and fillet welding on thin plates without burn-through.
-
Copper Coated for Performance: The high-quality copper coating ensures excellent electrical conductivity, smooth feeding through the liner, and extended contact tip life.
-
Low Spatter Technology: Engineered for a smooth, stable arc that creates a clean weld bead with minimal cleanup and grinding required.
-
Multi-Position Versatility: Excellent for butt and fillet welding in all positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical-up, and overhead.
