1020483 - NS ARC NS115 Silver-Glide ER70S-6 CopperFree MIG Wire 0.035 45lb Spool

Operational Efficiency with NS ARC NS115 Silver-Glide™

For industrial procurement managers and fabrication facility supervisors, the NS ARC® NS115 Silver-Glide™ represents a strategic choice in welding consumables. This 0.035-inch ER70S-6 carbon steel MIG wire is engineered to address common production bottlenecks associated with traditional copper-coated wires. By utilizing NS ARC's proprietary CopperFree™ manufacturing process, the NS115 eliminates the risk of copper flaking. In high-volume and robotic welding environments, copper flakes from traditional wires often accumulate in liners and contact tips, leading to arc instability, burn-backs, and unscheduled downtime for maintenance. Switching to NS115 Silver-Glide™ directly translates to higher equipment uptime and reduced consumption of contact tips and liners.

Manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma, this wire guarantees consistent chemistry and mechanical properties spool after spool. The 45 lb spool size (11.75-inch diameter) is an optimal balance for medium-to-heavy duty cycles, reducing changeover frequency compared to smaller packages while remaining manageable for manual loading. The wire is formulated with a high combined total of manganese and silicon de-oxidizers, making it robust enough to handle base metals with medium-to-heavy mill scale, rust, or oil without sacrificing weld quality. This versatility allows for streamlined inventory, as the NS115 can serve as a single solution for a wide range of structural and general fabrication applications.

Furthermore, the absence of copper coating reduces the generation of copper fumes during the welding process, contributing to a safer working environment and aiding in compliance with increasingly stringent air quality regulations. The precision winding and strict control over cast (35"-55") and helix (<1") ensure that the wire feeds smoothly through long conduit runs, making it an excellent candidate for automated systems where feed reliability is paramount. Invest in NS ARC NS115 to secure a welding process that is as efficient as it is high-performing.
