Description and applications
This mild steel Mig wire is a conventional copper coated precision layer wound mild steel Mig wire. Quality is consistently high and this 0.6mm wire is supplied on a 15Kg plastic reel. 

This wire is extensively used in the car body repair market for welding thin car panels or chassis sections not exceeding 3mm thick. It can also be used for many and varied sheet metal applications.

This wire is a general purpose mild steel copper coated MAG (metal active gas) wire. De-oxidised with manganese and silicon, it produces quality welds with excellent radiographic and mechanical properties. It is ideal for welding most mild and carbon-manganese steels e.g. Lloyds grades A to EH (up to EH32).
