70,000 PSI rated

 SOLID MIG WIRE · 0.030" & 0.035" · 70,000 PSI · MINIMAL SPATTER · WORKS WITH ALL ARCPEX MIG WELDERS.

ARCPEX ER70S-6 MIG Welding Wire delivers professional-quality, low-spatter welds on carbon steel and mild steel — ideal for auto repairs, metal fabrication, fencing, and home projects. Available in 0.030" (0.8mm) and 0.035" (0.9mm), in 1-pack, 2-pack, and 3-pack options.

⭐ KEY FEATURES

✨ Minimal Spatter — Less Cleanup

Experience exceptionally low spatter with ARCPEX ER70S-6 solid MIG wire. Drastically reduce your post-weld cleanup time and achieve smooth, visually appealing beads on every project — saving both time and effort.

💨 Shielding Gas Compatible

Use with 100% CO2 or a mixed gas of 80% Ar / 20% CO2 as the shielding gas. Gas shielding delivers cleaner welds with lower spatter compared to flux core — ideal for indoor shop welding on clean metal.

🎯 Smooth Feeding — Beginner Friendly

Our ER70S-6 wire delivers flexibility and surface smoothness for steady, uniform wire feed — effectively preventing wire jamming and skipping. Combined with a stable arc, even beginners can effortlessly achieve continuous, smooth welds and significantly boost success rates.

📦 Rugged, Rust-Free Packaging

Securely wound on a high-impact plastic reel and vacuum-sealed in a heavy-duty moisture barrier bag. Guaranteed to arrive rust-free, kink-free, and in perfect condition — ready for immediate use right out of the box.

💪 Exceptional Weld Quality

Trust ARCPEX for durable, high-quality welds on auto repairs, metal art, fencing, and home projects. ER70S-6 delivers excellent penetration and strength — 70,000 PSI tensile strength for welds that hold under demanding conditions.

⚙️ Works With All ARCPEX MIG Welders

Compatible with ARCPEX MIG200, MIG200 DP LCD, and all standard MIG welders with a 2LB spool hub. Use DCEP (electrode positive) polarity and set wire stick-out to 1/4"–3/8" for best results.

💡 ER70S-6 vs Flux Core: Use ER70S-6 solid wire + gas for indoor shop welding on clean metal where lower spatter and cleaner welds are the priority. Use E71T-GS flux core for outdoor welding, windy conditions, rusty or dirty metal, and field repairs where gas coverage is unreliable. Many welders keep both on hand.

🔧 IDEAL APPLICATIONS

🚗 Automotive & Body Repair

0.030" ER70S-6 on thin automotive sheet metal, floor pans, and body panels. Low spatter and clean beads make it ideal for visible automotive work where finish quality matters.

🎨 Metal Art & Fabrication

Smooth, clean welds with minimal spatter make ER70S-6 the go-to wire for metal art, decorative fabrication, and projects where weld appearance is important.

🏗️ Construction & Structural

All-position ER70S-6 handles flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welds on structural steel and framing. 70,000 PSI tensile strength meets structural welding requirements.

🔧 Home Projects & General Repair

Versatile for fencing, gates, furniture, and general home repair welding. Works with all ARCPEX MIG welders. Precision-wound spool ensures consistent feed and arc stability.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What shielding gas do I need for ER70S-6?
Use either 100% CO2 or a mixed gas of 80% Argon / 20% CO2. The 80/20 Ar/CO2 mix produces less spatter and a smoother arc, while 100% CO2 is more economical. Do not use ER70S-6 without shielding gas — use E71T-GS flux core wire instead for gasless welding.
What polarity do I use for ER70S-6 solid wire?
Use DCEP (DC Electrode Positive) — also called reverse polarity. This is the standard polarity for solid MIG wire. If switching from flux core wire, remember to swap the polarity back to DCEP inside your welder.
0.030" vs 0.035" — which should I choose?
0.030" (0.8mm) is better for thinner material (18–20 gauge up to 3/16") and lower-amperage welders (110V machines). 0.035" (0.9mm) is better for thicker material (1/8" and above) and higher-amperage 220V welders. When in doubt, 0.030" is the more versatile choice for general use.
Can I use this wire with my ARCPEX MIG200 or MIG200 DP LCD?
Yes — ARCPEX ER70S-6 solid wire is fully compatible with the ARCPEX MIG200 and MIG200 DP LCD. Ensure you are using the correct solid wire feed rollers, set polarity to DCEP, and connect your shielding gas before welding.
Why is my ER70S-6 weld producing excessive spatter?
Excessive spatter is usually caused by: 1) Wrong polarity — ensure DCEP (electrode positive). 2) Insufficient shielding gas flow — set to 15–25 CFH. 3) Voltage too low for the wire feed speed. 4) Wire stick-out too long — maintain 1/4"–3/8". 5) Dirty or oily base metal — clean before welding.
