WESTWARD ER70S-2 MIG Welding Wire
This WESTWARD welding wire is an 11 lb spool of carbon steel ER70S-2 filler metal for MIG (GMAW) processes. It carries a 0.045 in diameter and meets AWS classification standards for structural work. The wire delivers a tensile strength of 70 ksi and a yield strength of 58 ksi as welded. It is suited for fabrication, maintenance and repair on carbon steel base metals.
Welders running DCEP on carbon steel joints
This spool suits welders using direct current electrode positive on carbon steel to carbon steel joints. It supports flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions for all-position capability. Buyers needing stainless steel, aluminium or flux-cored wire for other base metals should look at a different product. Shops requiring a different wire diameter or spool weight must select another specification.
AWS ER70S-2 classification confirms carbon steel
The AWS ER70S-2 designation is the single specification that decides whether this wire matches the required weld procedure. It certifies the 70 ksi tensile and 58 ksi yield minimums for carbon steel MIG welding under DCEP. Verify this classification against your WPS before purchase to ensure code compliance.

Questions about this item
What spool type does the 11 lb wire use and will it fit my MIG feeder?
The wire comes on a plastic spool weighing 11 lb; it fits standard MIG feeders that accept this spool size and 0.045 in wire diameter.
What polarity and drive-roll setting are required, and what step is often missed?
Set the machine to DCEP polarity and use 0.045 in drive rolls; the step often missed is matching the drive-roll groove to the exact wire diameter.
How long before the 11 lb spool runs out and what replacement spec should I reorder?
Spool life depends on your amperage and duty cycle; reorder ER70S-2 carbon-steel wire in 0.045 in diameter on an 11 lb plastic spool.
