OVERVIEW

High-Volume Efficiency with NS Copper-Free Wire

The NS ER70S-6 .035" Copper-Free MIG Wire represents the gold standard for high-production industrial environments. Packaged on a massive 1000 lb wooden reel, this product is specifically engineered for facilities utilizing robotic cells or hard automation where downtime for spool changes equates to lost revenue. By utilizing a premium copper-free finish, NS (National Standard) eliminates the common issues associated with copper-coated wires, such as copper flaking that clogs liners and gun tips.

This wire meets the AWS ER70S-6 classification, making it a versatile choice for welding mild and carbon steels. The "S-6" designation indicates higher levels of silicon and manganese, which act as deoxidizers to handle light to moderate rust and mill scale on base materials. This chemical composition ensures a fluid weld puddle, excellent wetting action, and a flat bead profile, reducing post-weld grinding requirements.

For Josef Gas customers managing large-scale fabrication floors, the transition to 1000 lb bulk reels offers significant logistical advantages. It reduces the frequency of wire changeovers, minimizes packaging waste, and streamlines inventory management. The copper-free surface also contributes to a cleaner working environment by reducing metal fume emissions related to copper coatings.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Reduced Maintenance: Absence of copper coating prevents flake buildup in conduits and liners.
  • Stable Arc: Superior electrical conductivity and consistent wire diameter ensure a stable arc, essential for robotic seam tracking.
  • Cost Savings: Bulk packaging lowers the price per pound and reduces labor costs associated with setup time.

FAQ

Copper-free wire eliminates copper flaking, which can clog liners and contact tips. This results in smoother feeding, a more stable arc, and reduced maintenance downtime, especially in long conduit runs.

You will need a heavy-duty wire payoff system, dereeler, or turntable capable of supporting a 1000 lb wooden reel and providing proper tension control to prevent tangling.

This wire can be used with 100% CO2 for deep penetration or an Argon/CO2 blend (typically 75/25 or 90/10) for a smoother arc and reduced spatter.

Yes, the ER70S-6 classification contains high levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers, making it capable of handling light to moderate rust and mill scale.

This wire has a diameter of 0.035 inches (0.9 mm), making it versatile for welding thin to medium-thickness materials.

NS copper-free wire is treated with a proprietary surface lubricant and rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion during storage, offering shelf life comparable to copper-coated wires when stored correctly.

Absolutely. The 1000 lb bulk packaging and copper-free finish are specifically optimized for robotic applications to maximize uptime and consistency.
