MIG Wire WIA Austmig ES6 – 1.6mm (Mild Steel GMAW Wire)
WIA Austmig ES6 1.6mm is a premium, electrostatically copper-coated MIG welding wire engineered for high-quality, low-hydrogen welds on mild and medium-strength steels. Backed by WIA's trusted Austmig range, this 1.6mm solid wire delivers smooth arc performance, excellent feedability, and consistent weld quality across a wide range of industrial and fabrication applications.
Key Features
- Electrostatically copper-coated for superior wire feeding, reduced contact tip wear, and excellent electrical conductivity
- Low carbon steel composition formulated for optimum performance under both CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixed shielding gases
- Higher manganese and silicon content provides effective weld metal deoxidation, reducing the risk of porosity
- Very low diffusible hydrogen levels (H5 rated) for crack-resistant, high-integrity welds
- Precision layer wound for smooth, consistent, tangle-free wire feeding off the spool
- Excellent arc transfer characteristics, particularly in spray and pulsed transfer modes with Argon-based gas mixtures
Typical Applications
Austmig ES6 1.6mm is ideal for heavier-duty welding tasks, including:
- Structural steel fabrication (beams, frames, and heavy plate work)
- Trailer, chassis, and truck body manufacturing
- Storage tanks, hoppers, and duct work
- Heavy plate and pipe welding
- General workshop and industrial fabrication on mild and medium-strength steels
Why Choose WIA Austmig ES6?
This wire is a go-to choice for welders needing dependable, all-positional performance with minimal spatter and smooth, even weld beads with excellent edge wetting and contour. Its low-hydrogen properties make it well suited to structural and load-bearing applications where weld integrity is critical.
Typical Mechanical Properties
| Property | CO2 Gas | Ar + 18% CO2 |
|---|---|---|
