1042F05 - Esab Spoolarc 65 ER70S-2 MIG Wire .035 20kg Spool

High-Performance Triple Deoxidized MIG Wire

The Esab Spoolarc 65 is a premium carbon steel MIG welding wire engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Classified generally under AWS ER70S-2 specifications, this wire distinguishes itself with a potent triple-deoxidized chemistry containing Aluminum, Titanium, and Zirconium. This advanced metallurgical formulation is specifically designed to combat porosity caused by nitrogen and oxygen, making it the superior choice for welding on base metals that exhibit rust, mill scale, oil, or dirt. Unlike standard S-6 wires which rely primarily on silicon and manganese, the addition of reactive metals in Spoolarc 65 ensures sound X-ray quality welds even when surface preparation is less than ideal.

One of the defining technical characteristics of Spoolarc 65 is its weld puddle rheology. The wire produces a "stiff" or viscous puddle that does not flow as fluidly as standard wires. This characteristic is highly advantageous for process piping and fixed-position welding, as it allows the operator to control the molten pool against gravity more effectively. It is widely utilized in the power generation, military, and shipbuilding sectors where structural integrity cannot be compromised. The 20 kg (44 lb) spool size is optimized for industrial wire feeders, providing ample material for continuous production runs while maintaining a manageable footprint.

This wire operates effectively with both 100% CO2 and Argon/CO2 shielding gas blends, offering flexibility depending on the required penetration profile and arc characteristics. The copper coating on the wire surface is precision-applied to enhance electrical conductivity at the contact tip and ensure smooth, consistent feeding through the liner, reducing downtime associated with bird-nesting or burn-backs.
