1.2mm Copper-Plated Silico-Manganese MIG Welding Wire from Germany
High-performance 1.2 mm diameter round copper-coated wire made from silico-manganese steel alloy (low carbon <0.20%, Mn >0.9%, Si >0.6%), optimized for MIG electric arc welding of structural steel. The copper plating enhances electrical conductivity and feedability in semi-automatic welding. Meets HTS 7229.20.0010 criteria for alloy specs, size, and coating.

Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets confirming suitability for electric arc welding and exact alloy percentages to prevent misclassification
• Ensure copper coating is declared as functional plating, not mere decoration, with adhesion test results if requested
• For spooled wire, declare net weight accurately; avoid mixing diameters in same entry to simplify customs review
