Low-Carbon Steel Wire
- Heat Treatment: Annealed (Softened)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Tensile Strength: 70,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM A853
Also known as black-annealed wire, this low-carbon steel wire will stay in place when bent. It's commonly used for bundling and as tag wire. This material can be surface hardened with heat treating.

Zinc-Galvanized Steel Wire
- Heat Treatment: Annealed (Softened)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 70,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM A641
This wire is zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance. It will stay in place when bent and is commonly used for bundling and as tag wire.
MIG Welding Wire for Steel
Join steel together with this welding wire.
ER70S-2 wire is good for welding over rust and mill scale. It is made from a blend that helps remove contaminants and imperfections from the weld pool.
ER70S-3 wire is good for welding carbon steel in general fabrication applications. It has a low silicon content, so you can powder coat your welds.
ER70S-6 wire is good for welding dirty, oily, and rusty steel. You can also use it to join misaligned pieces together. It creates X-ray quality welds without air pockets for a smoother and more uniform welding bead than standard welding wire. Its high silicon content allows it to flow easily when melted, so it spreads out to fill in the space between two pieces of your weld before hardening.
