OVERVIEW

High-Performance Copper-Free MIG Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Bohler Eco-Spark 420 is a premium, non-copper coated solid wire designed for the most demanding MIG/MAG welding applications. Classified as ER70S-6, this wire is engineered to deliver superior feedability and arc stability, making it an exceptional choice for both manual and fully automated robotic welding systems. By eliminating the traditional copper coating, Bohler has removed the risk of copper flaking, which is a common cause of clogged liners, jammed contact tips, and unscheduled downtime in high-volume production environments.

This 20kg spool offers extended run times compared to standard packaging, further enhancing productivity. The wire features a special surface treatment that ensures excellent corrosion resistance and smooth feeding over long distances. The Eco-Spark 420 is characterized by its high current carrying capacity and extremely low spatter generation, resulting in clean, high-quality welds with minimal post-weld cleanup required. It is particularly effective for welding unalloyed and low-alloyed steels, structural steels, and fine-grained steels.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Reduced Maintenance: No copper dust accumulation in the torch liner or wire feeder.
  • Stable Arc: Consistent ignition and arc stability even at high parameters.
  • Health & Safety: Reduced welding fumes compared to copper-coated alternatives.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use with both CO2 and mixed shielding gases.

For fabrication shops looking to optimize efficiency and weld quality, the Bohler Eco-Spark 420 provides a reliable, high-tech solution that outperforms traditional copper-coated wires in continuous operations.

FAQ

The main advantage is the absence of copper coating, which prevents copper flaking. This reduces clogging in liners and contact tips, leading to better feedability and less maintenance downtime.

No, it can be used with standard shielding gases such as 100% CO2 or Argon/CO2 mixtures (e.g., C1 or M21) depending on the application.

Yes, Eco-Spark 420 is highly recommended for robotic welding due to its superior feedability, consistent arc starting, and lack of copper debris buildup.

This is a 20kg spool, which is approximately 44 lbs. It is slightly larger than the standard 15kg or 33lb spools.

The wire undergoes a special surface treatment that provides corrosion resistance similar to or better than copper-coated wires, provided it is stored correctly.

Yes, as an ER70S-6 class wire, it is excellent for structural steel, offering good deoxidizing properties for welding over mild mill scale.

This wire is 0.045 inches (approx. 1.2mm) in diameter.

Yes, because there is no copper coating, it eliminates copper fumes and generally produces lower overall fume emission rates compared to standard wires.
