03Technical description

West Arco WA 70S-6 is a solid ER70S-6 MIG wire for GMAW welding of carbon steel, classified under AWS A5.18. It is a useful reference for Colombian shops that request West Arco by brand and need continuity in assembly, maintenance or metal fabrication processes. It differs from West Arco Tubular 71T-1 because WA 70S-6 is solid MIG, works with shielding gas and is not selected as FCAW flux-cored wire. Compared with ESAB ER70S-6, Lincoln Electric SuperArc L-56 or Superon ER70S-6, the classification may match, but brand, packaging, availability and procedure approval define the purchase. SoldaForce helps quote by real quantity and dispatch destination.

Selection guide

  • Reference: request WA 70S-6 when West Arco is required in ER70S-6 classification.
  • Process: solid wire for GMAW/MIG with shielding gas.
  • Standard: specify AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 in the request.
  • Availability: validate packaging and lot before committing production.

Use recommendations

  • Configure the machine for solid wire, not flux-cored wire.
  • Keep gas, tip, liner and rollers in stable condition.
  • Clean the welding area to reduce porosity and spatter.
  • Do not change to another brand in a qualified job without technical authorization.
