OVERVIEW

Premium Silicon Bronze MIG Wire .035" - 30lb Spool

The SB035-30 Silicon Bronze MIG Wire is a premium copper-based filler metal designed for versatility and performance in both industrial fabrication and artistic applications. Packaged in a substantial 30lb spool, this .035" diameter wire is perfect for workshops requiring consistent feedability and strong, corrosion-resistant joints. Silicon Bronze is widely recognized for its ability to join dissimilar metals and its lower melting point compared to standard steel wires, making it an essential inventory item for diverse repair and fabrication needs.

At Josef Gas, we provide welding consumables that meet professional standards. This wire (classified as ERCuSi-A) is primarily composed of copper with silicon and manganese added to improve mechanical properties and deoxidation. It is the go-to choice for welding copper, copper-silicon, and copper-zinc base metals to themselves or to steel. Its excellent wetting action and fluidity make it a favorite for achieving aesthetically pleasing welds with minimal spatter.

One of the standout features of this product is its utility in MIG brazing. Because it melts at a lower temperature than steel, it minimizes heat distortion and burn-through, making it exceptional for thin sheet metal work. It is also frequently used on galvanized steel because it does not disturb the zinc coating as aggressively as standard steel wire, preserving the base metal's corrosion resistance. Whether you are repairing cast iron components, working on automotive body panels, or creating metal art, this 30lb spool ensures you have the supply needed for long-duration projects.

FAQ

100% Argon is the standard shielding gas for Silicon Bronze (ERCuSi-A) MIG welding. It provides a stable arc and good cleaning action.

Yes, but the process is technically 'MIG Brazing' rather than welding. The steel base metal is not melted; instead, the silicon bronze filler bonds to the surface. This is excellent for reducing heat distortion.

Because Silicon Bronze is softer than steel, U-groove drive rolls are recommended to prevent deforming the wire. Knurled rolls should be avoided as they can shave the copper coating.

Yes, Silicon Bronze is excellent for galvanized steel because it doesn't burn off the zinc coating as much as steel welding, maintaining better corrosion resistance.

DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity, is standard for MIG welding with this wire.

This is a 30lb spool. It typically fits standard industrial wire feeders that accept 12-inch diameter spools.

For best results with softer wires like bronze or aluminum, a Teflon or Nylon liner is recommended to reduce friction, though .035" is often stiff enough to feed through standard liners if the cable is kept straight.
