    1. I use 75/25 when welding mild steel

      Helpful?

    2. It can be used with either of the 75/25 or 90/10 mix, as long as the lower number is for Co2 and not another type of gas.

      Helpful?

  2. Is this wire for mig welding?

    Thanks!

  3. Is the 10# spool the same as the 8" diameter spool??

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. They are the same.

      Helpful?

    2. The 10 lb. spool is the same as the 8" diameter spool of welding wire.

      Helpful?

  4. What is the spool diameter?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. 8 inches, outside.

      Helpful?

    2. The diameter of this 10# spool is 8 inches.

      Helpful?

  5. Will this 10.8 lb roll work in a Hobart Handler 140?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. This 10 lb. spool of .030 wire will work with the Hobart Handler 140.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes with the large spool adapter.

      Helpful?

  6. What is the difference between the copper coated and the non coated?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. Solid wires are copper coated to keep the wire from rusting, fluxcore wire is non-coated, since flux is inside the wire. They each can still rust up if precautions are not taken.

    2. The main difference is that copper welding wire requires shielding gas, and non copper coated wire doesn't. The copper coated is a solid wire. The non copper coated wire is hollow.

  7. will the hobart 10 lb welding spool work with my new hobart 125 flux core welder.

    my welder item # is 628575 125 amp wire feed welder.

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. To use the 10lb welding spool with your Hobart 125 flux core welder, you will need a hub adapter model number 195216. Northern Tool does not currently offer this part.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, but yo will need an adapter for the large spool. If yo are not doing a lot of welding, it would be better to get the small spool, as they can rust up, and it would be more cost-effective to throw away a small spool than a big one.IMHO.

  8. best wire?

    what would be the best wire for heavier metals?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. .035 wire can weld 18 gauge up to 1/2 inch steel.

      Helpful?

    2. I consider heavy metal and 3/4' on up. For those below that, say, 3/4 to 1/2" I would use .035" wire. It also depends on the size of your welder.

      Helpful?

  9. what is the best wire?

    i live on a farm, so i will be welding things that will be rusty, oily, dirty, thin metal and heavy metal what 1 or maybe 2 different wires should i buy so that i can weld pretty much all of that without having to switch wires?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. Depending on Where your welding, Flux Core might be better. As it Doesn't Require Shielding gas. But is tricky to use on Thin, 16 Gauge or Thinner metal.

      Helpful?

    2. Before any welding, the metal should be cleaned as much as possible for the weld to adhere. This wire provides excellent weldability with powerful deoxidizers where stringent cleaning practices can not be used. We are unable to provide one wire for thin and thick metal as it would depend on the type of metal being welded.

  10. The picture shows copper coated and non-coated wire which one is this?

    Originally posted on "Hobart MIG Welding Wire, ER70S-6 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H305406-R22"

    1. Solid wire is copper coated, fluxcore is not.

      Helpful?

    2. The wire will be copper coated.
