Kobelco - MIG Wire - ER80SG x 1.2

Kobelco FAMILIARC MG-60 is a premium, high-strength solid gas metal arc welding (GMAW / MIG) wire manufactured by Kobe Steel. While it is classified under the generic industry standard AWS A5.28 ER80S-G, it is specialized to meet ER80S-G parameters and is heavily utilized for welding 590 MPa high-tensile strength carbon steels and low-alloy structural components.

Technical Classifications & Settings
Industry Classification: AWS A5.28 ER80S-G. The "G" denotes a general/proprietary alloy configuration designed to deliver higher mechanical strength than standard mild steel wires.
Shielding Gas: Formulated to run exclusively with 100% CO? shielding gas.
Operating Polarity: Runs on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive / DC+).
Welding Positions: Specifically optimized for high-efficiency flat, horizontal, and horizontal fillet welding. It is highly effective for thick plate fabrications where fast deposition is necessary.

Key Performance Benefits
High Deposition Speed: Delivers a 10% to 30% higher deposition and feeding speed compared to typical baseline carbon steel solid wires. This increases cycle times when filling deep joint bevels.
Low Spatter & High Arc Stability: Engineered to transition smoothly under a CO? shield, generating very low flying spatter. This reduces cleanup times on surrounding plates and fixtures.
Minimal Slag Generation: Unlike flux-cored wires, MG-60 produces a minimal amount of glassy silicate slag clusters. This allows multi-pass welding with minimal chipping between layers.
Sound Radiographic Integrity: Resists porosity and hot solidification cracking, making it a reliable choice for joints subjected to rigorous X-ray inspection.
