FORBY ER70S-6N (AWS A5.18) - premium quality solid welding wire designed for MIG/MAG welding where a clean, strong and aesthetically smooth weld is required. Thanks to its increased manganese (Mn) and silicon (Si) content, this wire offers excellent deoxidizing properties, making it well suited for working even with steels that have slight rust, oxide or scale.
Suitable for professional metalworking: welding of structural steels, repair and manufacturing work, welding of frames, profiles and pipelines, metal fabrication and mechanical structures.
Key advantages:
- Clean and smooth welds - low spatter, stable arc.
- Increased Mn and Si content - better weld quality.
- Low spatter due to high chemical purity.
- High weld strength - meets AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 requirements.
- Well suited for structural mild steel - from frames to pipelines and steel structures.
- Works with CO₂ and Ar/CO₂ gas mixtures (ArC18).
ER70S-6N (non-copper-coated) - Advantages over copper-coated wire:
Lower fume and vapour emissions - a healthier working environment
Cleaner welding process - no copper oxidation, less porosity
Less equipment contamination - no copper particles sticking, longer service life of the wire feed system and contact tips
A more environmentally friendly choice - no copper coating, less environmental pollution
Better welding quality in automated processes - more stable arc, less spatter
When to choose non-copper-coated wire?- When a cleaner and healthier working environment matters
- For automated and robotic welding processes
- When you need to reduce wear of the wire feed system
Compliance standards:
- AWS A5.18 ER70S-6
- ISO 14341-A G 42 4 M21 3Si1
- Certificate: DIN EN10204 3.1
