FAQ

You can use 100% CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mix (C25) for a smoother arc, less spatter, and better bead appearance.

Yes. The ER70S-6 classification indicates high levels of silicon and manganese, which act as deoxidizers. This makes it much better suited for welding over mill scale, light rust, and oil compared to ER70S-3 wire.

This is a standard industrial 44lb (approx. 20kg) spool. It typically requires a wire feeder capable of holding 12-inch diameter spools.

This is a solid MIG wire and requires Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), often referred to as Reverse Polarity.

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

For .045" (1.2mm) wire, the typical operating range is between 150 and 350 amps, depending on the transfer mode (short circuit vs. spray transfer) and material thickness.

Yes, this wire is copper-coated to improve electrical conductivity, extend contact tip life, and prevent the wire from rusting while in storage.
