CBL welding wire 15 kg MIG SG2 D0.60 mm SM70 eco (red)

The SG2 designation stands for a common wire type for unalloyed and low-alloy structural steel. Whether the wire suits your work depends mainly on the material, the sheet thickness and your machine.

What do you use SG2 welding wire 0.60 mm for?

A thin wire of 0.60 mm is often chosen for thinner sheet and weld seams where you want to work with little heat. Think of sheet metal work, small structures and repairs to steel. For thicker material, a larger wire diameter usually works better. So first look at the sheet thickness and the output of your welding machine.

Check whether the wire suits your welding machine

Not every machine is set up for a 15 kg spool. Check whether the spool holder can handle this spool size. Also check whether the wire drive rollers and the contact tip are suitable for 0.60 mm. A wrong roller or tip often causes uneven wire feed. If the size is not in your machine's manual, ask the manufacturer or Proffix.

Shielding gas and application

You use solid steel wire with shielding gas. Which gas suits best depends on your machine and the desired welding result. This is usually a mixture of argon and CO2, or pure CO2. This wire is intended for steel. For stainless steel or aluminium you need a different wire type.

Frequently asked questions

Is this welding wire suitable for aluminium or stainless steel?

No, SG2 is intended for unalloyed and low-alloy steel. Aluminium and stainless steel require separate welding wires.

Do I need shielding gas with this wire?

Yes, this is a solid wire for MIG/MAG welding and you use it with shielding gas. Which gas suits best is often stated in the manual of your welding machine.

What if I am not sure whether the spool fits my machine?

Check the spool holder and the drive rollers of your machine. If you cannot work it out, contact Proffix by phone or email.
