Value Brand ER70S-6 MIG Welding Wire 0.023 in 11 lb

SKU CH-A7QW-9V13H

Carbon-steel MIG wire rated 70 ksi tensile for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical welding positions

  • Product typeWelding Supplies
  • ER70S-6 classification suits carbon steel MIG welding
  • 023 in wire diameter enables precise thin-material work
  • 70 ksi tensile strength delivers strong as-welded joints
  • 11 lb plastic spool supports extended welding sessions

Wire diameter and spool weight

This ER70S-6 MIG welding wire measures 0.023 inches in diameter and comes on an 11 lb plastic spool. It is classified to AWS ER70S-6 for carbon steel to carbon steel joining. The wire supports DCEP current designation for MIG (GMAW) processes.

Fit for flat through vertical positions

The wire is qualified for flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up welding positions. It suits fabricators and maintenance shops running general carbon steel repairs. Shops requiring stainless steel, aluminium or flux-cored wire should select a different product.

Tensile and yield strength ratings

As-welded tensile strength is 70 ksi with a minimum required tensile of 70 ksi. Yield strength is 58 ksi both as-welded and as a minimum requirement. These figures confirm the wire meets the ER70S-6 classification for structural carbon steel work.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.023 in ER70S-6 wire generate excessive heat or spatter during long MIG runs?

The wire is rated for DCEP current and 70 ksi tensile strength, so it runs stable on carbon steel with normal spatter levels when voltage and wire feed are set correctly.

What equipment must I already have to use this 11 lb plastic spool?

You need a MIG welder that accepts 0.023 in wire, a compatible drive-roll kit, a DCEP-capable power source and shielding gas suitable for ER70S-6.

Will this ER70S-6 spool work with an older transformer MIG machine?

Yes, the wire is classified ER70S-6 for all-position carbon-steel welding and feeds from a standard plastic spool, so it works with older DCEP transformer units.
