ER70S-6 carbon-steel MIG wire, 0.045 in diameter on a 44 lb spool, 70 ksi tensile strength for flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead welding

  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • AWS ER70S-6 classification for carbon steel welding

  • 58 ksi yield strength as welded
  • 44 lb plastic spool for extended runs

WESTWARD ER70S-6 MIG wire for carbon steel

This 44 lb plastic spool carries AWS classification ER70S-6 for MIG welding carbon steel to carbon steel. It runs on DCEP current and is rated for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical positions. The wire delivers 70 ksi tensile strength and 58 ksi yield strength as welded.

0.045 in diameter fits standard MIG guns and feeders

The .045 in wire diameter matches common drive rolls and contact tips, so no special hardware is needed. A 44 lb spool reduces change-over frequency on long production runs. The plastic spool feeds smoothly on bench or boom-mounted wire feeders.

44 lb spool covers high-volume fabrication work

At 44 lb the spool supports extended welding sessions on structural, automotive and general repair jobs. It handles flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical-up or vertical-down passes without operator intervention. Very thin sheet or specialised alloy work would need a different diameter or classification.

Questions about this item

How long can I run the wire at the 70 ksi tensile rating before the spool runs out?

The 44 lb plastic spool feeds continuously; at typical MIG feed rates it lasts many hours of flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical welding before a change is needed.

Does the ER70S-6 wire generate more heat or spatter during all-day DCEP welding?

ER70S-6 on carbon steel with DCEP current produces standard MIG heat and spatter levels; no extra cooling or fume extraction beyond normal shop practice is required.

What shielding gas and wire feeder do I need to use this .045 in spool?

You need a MIG gun and feeder that accept .045 in wire plus a compatible shielding gas mix for carbon-steel GMAW; the spool fits standard 44 lb plastic-spool hubs.
