S307615-070 - Hobart Quantum Arc 6 ER70S-6 .052" MIG Wire 950lb Drum

Industrial-Grade ER70S-6 Solid Wire for Automation

The Hobart Quantum Arc 6 is a premium mild steel solid wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume industrial manufacturing. Formulated with higher levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers compared to standard S-3 wires, this ER70S-6 product excels in applications where base metals may exhibit light rust, oil, or mill scale. This chemical composition ensures sound weld deposits with minimal porosity, even under less-than-ideal surface conditions, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication and structural steel projects.

This specific SKU features a 0.052-inch diameter, a size often selected for heavy fabrication to achieve higher deposition rates and deeper penetration profiles than smaller diameters. The wire is packaged in a 950 lb RRP (Round Reel Pack), specifically engineered for robotic, automatic, and semi-automatic welding cells. The bulk packaging significantly reduces operational downtime associated with frequent spool changes, thereby maximizing arc-on time and overall plant efficiency. The winding and packaging technology employed by Hobart ensures consistent wire payoff, which is critical for maintaining stable arc characteristics and preventing burn-backs in automated systems.

Quantum Arc 6 is compatible with both 100% CO2 and 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas mixtures, offering flexibility depending on the required arc characteristics and cost considerations. It is rated for both single and multiple pass applications, providing excellent mechanical properties including high tensile strength. For procurement managers and facility engineers, this product represents a balance of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for large-scale production environments involving automotive frames, railcars, and construction equipment.
