Application

What ECOspark 8-NC solid MIG/MAG wire is used for

ECOspark 8-NC is a solid wire for mild steel, supplied without a copper coating. It works on welded structures, halls, frames, machine parts and repairs of structural steel.

Among the parent materials it covers S235JR, S355JR, S235JO, S355JO, S450JO, S235J2 and S355J2. Leaving out the copper coating limits liner fouling and copper in the fumes.

  • Classification EN ISO: 14341-A G 46 4 M21 4Si1 G 46 4 C1 4Si1
  • AWS classification: A5.18 / SFA-5.18 ER70S-6
  • Shielding gas: C1, M21, M34
  • Diameters: 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.6 mm
  • Approvals: TÜV (19914), DB (42.132.96), CE

Match the voltage to the wire feed speed, too low a setting gives a convex face and no fusion into the edges. Set the gas flow so the pool is covered over the whole length of the bead, and shield the station when you work in wind.
