OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade ER70S-6 MIG Wire for Precision Fabrication

The Bonarc ER70S-6 .023" Steel Solid MIG Wire is a premium choice for industrial fabricators and manufacturing environments requiring consistent performance on mild steel. Supplied in a substantial 15kg (33lb) spool, this wire is engineered to maximize productivity by reducing downtime associated with frequent spool changes. The ER70S-6 classification indicates a chemical composition rich in deoxidizers, specifically manganese and silicon. These elements are crucial for industrial applications where base materials may not be perfectly clean; they effectively scavenge impurities, allowing for sound welds even over light rust and mill scale.

One of the standout characteristics of this Bonarc wire is its excellent wetting properties. The high silicon content creates a highly fluid weld pool that ties into the toes of the weld smoothly, creating a flat bead profile that requires minimal grinding. This is particularly advantageous in high-volume production settings where post-weld finishing represents a significant cost. Furthermore, the wire is manufactured with tight diameter tolerances and a high-quality copper coating, which enhances electrical conductivity and protects the wire from corrosion during storage.

Reliability in wire feeding is paramount for automated and semi-automated processes. This 15kg spool features precision layer winding, which ensures the wire pays off smoothly without snagging or tangling. This consistent feedability results in a stable arc and uniform penetration, essential for maintaining structural integrity in critical components. Whether used with 100% CO2 for deep penetration or an Argon/CO2 blend for a smoother arc, the Bonarc ER70S-6 delivers professional results across a wide range of operating parameters.

FAQ

For the best performance and smoothest arc on thin steel, a mix of 75% Argon and 25% CO2 (C25) is recommended. However, 100% CO2 can also be used for better penetration and lower cost.

Yes, the ER70S-6 classification contains high levels of manganese and silicon deoxidizers, which help tolerate light to moderate rust and mill scale better than ER70S-3 wire.

This is a 15kg spool, which is approximately 33 lbs. It typically fits standard industrial wire feeders and larger MIG machines.

No, this is a mild steel wire. You need aluminum wire (like ER4043 or ER5356) and pure argon gas to weld aluminum.

This solid wire requires DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity.

No, this is a solid wire and requires an external shielding gas cylinder to protect the weld pool.

The wire diameter is 0.023 inches (0.6mm), making it ideal for thin sheet metal applications.
