- TypeWelding Supplies
- ER70S-6 classification ensures reliable MIG welds on carbon steel
- 045 in diameter suits a wide range of material thicknesses
- 70 ksi tensile strength delivers strong, durable joints
- 11 lb plastic spool supports extended welding sessions
- Suitable for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical positions
Wire specification and intended use
This is an 11 lb spool of carbon-steel MIG welding wire with a 0.045 in diameter. It carries AWS classification ER70S-6 and is manufactured by WESTWARD for carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel joining.
Suitability and limitations
The wire suits fabricators running DCEP current in flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down or vertical-up positions. It is not for welders who need a different wire diameter, a non-ER70S-6 classification, or a spool weight other than 11 lb.
Tensile strength requirement
As-welded tensile strength is 70 ksi with a minimum required yield strength of 58 ksi. If your procedure demands a higher tensile or yield value, this wire will not meet that specification.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 0.045 in ER70S-6 wire on my MIG welder and what step is often missed?
Mount the 11 lb plastic spool, set the drive rolls for 0.045 in wire, thread through the liner, and set polarity to DCEP — the step most often missed is confirming the contact tip matches the 0.045 in diameter.
What maintenance or replacement will the ER70S-6 carbon steel wire need later?
Replace the spool when the 11 lb of ER70S-6 wire is consumed; periodically clean or replace the contact tip and liner to prevent feeding issues with the 0.045 in diameter wire.
What limit appears first during sustained MIG welding with this 0.045 in ER70S-6 wire?
The 11 lb spool capacity is the first practical limit — continuous welding depletes the wire, requiring a spool change before the 70 ksi tensile strength or 58 ksi yield strength of the deposit becomes a factor.
