Description
🔧 ERCu MIG Wire 1.2mm – 15kg Spool for Copper Welding
The ERCu MIG wire (1.2mm diameter) is specifically designed for welding copper and copper alloys. Supplied on a 15kg spool, this wire ensures consistent feeding and a smooth arc, making it ideal for both manual and automated MIG welding processes.
With excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, this wire produces welds that are strong, ductile, and visually clean. It is perfect for joining copper tubing, busbars, heat exchangers, and other components where copper’s properties are essential.
💪 Key Applications of ERCu MIG Wire
This ERCu MIG wire finds extensive use across industries requiring copper welds, such as plumbing, electrical manufacturing, marine, and HVAC. Typical applications include:
-
Repairing copper plumbing and tubing
-
Fabricating electrical busbars and connectors
-
Manufacturing heat exchangers and radiators
-
Marine applications where corrosion resistance is critical
-
Decorative copper work requiring clean weld appearance
In addition to its strong mechanical properties, this wire reduces porosity and cracking, ensuring durable and reliable welds.
⚙️ Welding Performance and Recommendations
The wire features a smooth arc with minimal spatter, compatible with shielding gases like pure Argon or Argon-CO₂ blends. Recommended welding current ranges from 120 to 180 amps, depending on the welding position and workpiece thickness.
To maximize weld quality, maintain steady wire feed speed and use adequate shielding gas flow. Keeping the welding environment free of drafts helps prevent oxidation and porosity. For detailed parameters and tips, visit our welding parameters guide.
