Blue plastic spool with .045 inch metal-cored welding wire 33 lb

Value Brand

Value Brand 41R308 MIG Welding Wire .045 33 lb

SKU CH-KF06-E0Y8T

Metal-cored MIG wire for carbon steel, .045 in diameter on a 33 lb plastic spool, AWS E70C-6M classification with 70 ksi tensile strength

  • Product typeWelding Supplies
  • E70C-6M classification suits carbon-steel joins
  • 045 in diameter feeds smoothly in MCAW guns
  • 70 ksi tensile strength meets structural requirements
  • 58 ksi yield strength resists deformation under load
  • 33 lb plastic spool supports extended production runs

E70C-6M Metal-Cored Wire for Carbon Steel

This E70C-6M metal-cored welding wire is formulated for carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel joining. It runs on DCEP current and suits flat and horizontal positions. The 33 lb plastic spool feeds cleanly in metal-cored welding (MCAW) setups. Fabrication shops and maintenance crews will find it a direct match for structural and general repair work.

70 ksi tensile strength with .045 in diameter

The wire delivers 70 ksi tensile strength as welded, meeting the AWS E70C-6M classification minimum. Yield strength reaches 58 ksi both as welded and as the required minimum. The .045 in diameter balances deposition rate and control for medium-thickness plate. Very thick sections or vertical-up progression will exceed its comfortable operating envelope.

Plastic spool protects wire integrity

The 33 lb plastic spool resists moisture pickup and physical damage during storage and handling. Its construction prevents flaking that can clog liners and contact tips. California Proposition 65 applies: the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer. Users must follow standard fume extraction and PPE practices for metal-cored consumables.

Questions about this item

Will the .045 diameter wire feed through my existing MIG gun liner without jamming?

The .045 in diameter matches standard liners and drive rolls for that size; verify your gun and feeder are rated for .045 metal-cored wire before welding.

How can I confirm the E70C-6M wire is producing sound welds on carbon steel after setup?

Run a test bead on flat or horizontal carbon steel using DCEP polarity; inspect for smooth fusion, minimal spatter and a tensile strength around 70 ksi.

Does the 33 lb plastic spool come with any contact tips, liners or shielding gas?

The box contains only the 33 lb plastic spool of E70C-6M metal-cored wire; contact tips, liners and shielding gas must be purchased separately.
