AristoRod is fairly new product development from Esab which is patented to them.

The unique feature is the absence of the traditional copper coating and in its place is the patented Esab surface coating which is meant to enhance ease of wire feeding and reduce spatter (see more below). Copper coatings do lead to the majority of problems associated with Mig welding as it is this stuff that comes off as a copper dust and eventually blocks liners and guide tubes. It is there to ensure a good electrical pick up as the wire goes through the contact tip, nothing to do with rust prevention, and if the Esab coating can do this just as well or better then it probably is a good move to remove the copper coating. 

Real world experience is that there is a detectable difference and for high volume users it seems to work. There is a slight premium to pay.

OK AristoRod™ 12.50 is a bare Mn-Si-alloyed G3Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire for the GMAW of non-alloyed steels, as used in general construction, automotive components, pressure vessel fabrication and shipbuilding. OK AristoRod™ 12.50 is treated with ESAB’s unique Advanced Surface Characteristics (ASC) technology, taking MAG welding operations to new levels of performance and all-round efficiency, especially in robotic and mechanised welding. Characteristic features include excellent start properties; trouble-free feeding at high wire speeds and lengthy feed distances; a very stable arc at high welding currents; extremely low levels of spatter; low fume emission; reduced contact tip wear and improved protection against corrosion of the wire. 

1.0mm Diameter wire is supplied on an adaptorless 18Kg wire basket.
