1Kg - ER70S-6 Mild Steel 0.9mm MIG Welding Wire – High Manganese & Silicon for Clean Welds
R 90.00
SKU 3-MIG09-1
ER70S-6 is a copper-coated mild steel MIG wire designed for the GMAW process, offering excellent arc stability, low spatter, and superior puddle control. Its elevated levels of manganese and silicon improve deoxidation, making it ideal for welding over slightly contaminated surfaces such as rust or mill scale. This 0.9mm wire on a compact 1kg spool is perfect for light fabrication, automotive repairs, and general-purpose steel welding.
