69102009 - Bonarc ER70S-6 Solid MIG Welding Wire, 0.035 in, 20kg Spool

Industrial Grade ER70S-6 MIG Wire

The Bonarc 70S-6 is a premium mild steel solid wire designed for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. Conforming to AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 standards, this wire is engineered for general purpose fabrication where consistent mechanical properties and weld quality are paramount. The wire features a diameter of 0.035 inches (0.9mm), making it a versatile choice for welding material thicknesses ranging from 22 gauge up to 1/2 inch with appropriate multi-pass techniques.

One of the defining technical characteristics of this product is its elevated levels of silicon and manganese. These deoxidizers act as scavenging agents within the molten weld pool, effectively reacting with oxygen and other impurities to float them to the surface as slag. This chemical composition makes the Bonarc 70S-6 particularly effective when welding on base metals that exhibit light rust, mill scale, or oil, ensuring sound, porosity-free welds. The high silicon content also enhances the fluidity of the puddle, promoting excellent wetting action at the toes of the weld, which is critical for fatigue resistance in structural applications.

This product is supplied on a 20kg (approximately 44lb) spool, designed for industrial wire feeders and heavy-duty usage. The spooling is precision layer wound, a critical feature that ensures the wire pays off smoothly without snagging or tangling. Consistent wire feeding is essential for maintaining a stable arc and preventing burn-backs, particularly in automated or semi-automatic welding environments. The wire is copper-coated to improve electrical conductivity at the contact tip and to provide corrosion resistance during storage.
