Cigweld WeldSkill Solid MIG Wire is a copper coated ER70S-6 mild steel wire for GMAW fabrication and structural welding.
Description
Cigweld WeldSkill Solid MIG Wire
The Cigweld WeldSkill Solid MIG Wire is a premium copper coated ER70S-6 mild steel welding wire designed for the positional Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of mild and low alloy steels. Engineered for consistent arc performance and reliable mechanical properties, this general-purpose MIG wire is ideal for workshop fabrication, structural work and everyday steel welding applications.
Classified to AWS/ASME-SFA A5.18: ER70S-6 and ISO AS/NZS 2717.1, WeldSkill Solid Wire delivers strong weld integrity and smooth feeding characteristics across a wide range of welding conditions.
Designed for General Fabrication & Structural Work
WeldSkill ER70S-6 is suitable for welding:
- Mild steel
- Low alloy steels
- General structural steel
- Fabrication components
- Repair and maintenance work
The higher manganese and silicon content improves tolerance to mill scale and light surface contaminants, helping achieve sound welds even on less-than-perfect material preparation.
Smooth Arc Performance & Reliable Strength
When used with CO₂ or Argon-based shielding gases, WeldSkill Solid Wire provides:
- Yield strength up to 435 MPa
- Tensile strength up to 540 MPa
- Excellent elongation (around 30%)
- Strong impact toughness at low temperatures
The copper coating improves electrical conductivity, arc stability and feedability while reducing contact tip wear.
Typical diffusible hydrogen levels are low (around 1–2ml per 100g), contributing to weld reliability in structural applications.
Recommended Shielding Gases
Suitable shielding gases include:
- Welding Grade CO₂
- Argon + 10–15% CO₂
- Argon + 18–25% CO₂
- Argon blends with small O₂ additions
This flexibility makes it ideal for both light fabrication and heavier structural work.
Available Wire Diameters & Packaging
WeldSkill Solid MIG Wire is available in:
- 0.6mm
- 0.8mm
- 0.9mm
With packaging options including:
- 0.9kg Minispools
- 5kg Handispools
Designed for smooth wire feeding and consistent weld quality in semi-automatic MIG welding applications.
For welders looking for a dependable ER70S-6 mild steel MIG wire that delivers strong mechanical performance and smooth arc characteristics, Cigweld WeldSkill Solid MIG Wire is a proven workshop essential.
