S307608-011 - Hobart Quantum Arc 6 ER70S-6 .035 MIG Wire (600lb Drum)

High-Performance Robotic Welding Wire

The Hobart Quantum Arc 6 .035" MIG Wire is a premium mild steel solid wire engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of automated and robotic welding environments. Packaged in a substantial 600 lb Robo Pak, this product is designed to maximize arc-on time by significantly reducing the frequency of wire changeovers, a critical factor in high-volume industrial manufacturing. The wire conforms to AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 classification, ensuring it meets strict industry standards for mechanical properties and weld quality.

One of the defining characteristics of the Quantum Arc 6 is its formulated chemical composition, which features elevated levels of manganese and silicon. These elements act as powerful deoxidizers, allowing the wire to perform exceptionally well on base metals that may exhibit light rust, mill scale, or oil. This tolerance for surface contaminants reduces the need for extensive pre-weld cleaning, streamlining the fabrication process. Furthermore, the copper-coated finish enhances electrical conductivity, ensuring stable current transfer and prolonging the life of contact tips, which is essential for maintaining consistent tool center points in robotic cells.

Feedability is paramount in automated applications, and Hobart has engineered this wire to deliver smooth, tangle-free feeding even through long conduit runs. The consistent cast and helix of the wire prevent wandering, ensuring precise weld placement every time. Whether utilizing 100% CO2 for deep penetration or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 blend for a smoother bead appearance, the Quantum Arc 6 delivers a stable arc with minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup and enhancing overall productivity.
