Hobart ER70S-6 MIG Wire for Carbon Steel
This 44 lb plastic spool of Hobart 54JK74 MIG welding wire is classified AWS ER70S-6 for carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel joining. It feeds at a 0.035 in diameter and runs on DCEP current. The wire suits flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions. It is sold new for fabrication, repair and maintenance work.
Replaces lower-strength or smaller-spool wire
Stepping up to this ER70S-6 spool makes sense when a project demands the 70 ksi tensile and 58 ksi yield minimums and the 44 lb capacity reduces change-over frequency. The jump is worth it for shops running continuous MIG (GMAW) passes on carbon steel where consistent mechanical properties and fewer spool swaps improve throughput.
Check wire feeder and gun compatibility
Verify that your feeder drive rolls and gun liner accept 0.035 in solid wire and that the machine supports DCEP output for the ER70S-6 classification. Confirm the spool dimensions fit your wire feeder spindle and that your welding procedure specifies ER70S-6 for the base metal and joint design. California Proposition 65 notice applies.

Questions about this item
What size wire feed roller and contact tip does the 0.035 in diameter require?
Use a 0.035 in drive roll and matching contact tip; the spool fits standard MIG wire feeders with a 44 lb capacity.
How do you load the plastic spool onto the wire feeder without tangling?
Secure the spool on the spindle, thread the wire through the inlet guide, and keep tension while feeding to prevent backlash on the plastic spool.
When should the 44 lb spool be replaced during production welding?
Replace the spool when the wire runs out; the ER70S-6 wire maintains 70 ksi tensile and 58 ksi yield strength throughout the 44 lb spool.
