OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade E70C-6M Metal Core Wire

Maximize your welding productivity with this premium E70C-6M metal core wire, supplied in a 15kg spool. Engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications, this 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter wire offers superior deposition rates compared to solid MIG wires, making it an excellent choice for structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and bridge construction. Its metal-cored design combines the high efficiency of solid wire with the forgiving nature of flux-cored consumables.

This wire is specifically formulated for flat and horizontal fillet welds, delivering a stable arc and smooth spray transfer when used with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures. The advanced chemical composition ensures excellent wetting action and sidewall tie-in, even when welding over mild rust or mill scale. This tolerance for surface contaminants reduces pre-weld preparation time, streamlining your fabrication workflow.

Featuring a specialized surface treatment and lubricants, this wire feeds smoothly through long conduits and torch liners, minimizing wear on contact tips and reducing downtime. The resulting weld deposits exhibit low spatter levels and minimal slag islands, significantly lowering post-weld cleanup costs. With an H4 hydrogen designation, it also provides resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking in critical structures.

FAQ

This E70C-6M metal core wire typically requires an Argon/CO2 mixture (e.g., 75% Argon / 25% CO2 or 90% Argon / 10% CO2) for optimal spray transfer and arc stability.

This wire is designed primarily for flat and horizontal fillet welds. It is not intended for vertical-up or overhead welding due to the fluidity of the puddle.

As a metal core wire, it produces minimal slag in the form of small silicon islands, unlike flux-cored wires which produce a heavy slag covering. Cleanup is generally very easy.

The wire diameter is 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm).

Yes, it has excellent tolerance for rust and mill scale, providing good wetting and sidewall fusion even on contaminated base metals.

This wire operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

The spool weighs 15kg, which is approximately 33 lbs.

Metal core wire generally offers higher deposition rates, faster travel speeds, and better wetting action/gap bridging compared to solid MIG wire.
