Copper-Coated Silico-Manganese Welding Wire 1.0mm from Japan

Round wire of silico-manganese steel with a diameter of 1.0 mm, containing less than 0.20% carbon, over 0.9% manganese, and more than 0.6% silicon, plated with copper for corrosion protection and conductivity. Specifically designed for electric arc welding applications like MIG and MAG processes. Classified under HTS 7229.20.0010 due to its precise alloy composition, dimensions, and copper coating.

Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificates verifying chemical composition (C <0.20%, Mn >0.9%, Si >0.6%) and diameter ≤1.6mm to avoid reclassification

• Document copper plating thickness and purpose (anti-corrosion/conductivity) as plating must be more than superficial

• Check for welding suitability certification; bulk spools may require weight declarations for duty calculation
