Copper alloy mig wire?

[jonrev]

Hi,
Can anyone shine a light on this mig wire- SIFMIG A18 COPPER ALLOY MIG WIRE.
Don't know if this is a special type of wire or if it's just a fairly standard mig wire with a confusing title. Described as copper coated, deoxidised steel wire for semi automatic welding. Is it special in any way and if so, what are it's properties/uses?
Thanks

If it's A18, it's standard copper coated m/s MIG wire. No idea why they'd call it copper alloy, as it's not.

You found that on ebay didn't you? (Paul's kindly put in a link below, clever lad). It's a typo.

Is this the stuff clicky,
A18 is the bit you need to look at, its just standard copper coated mig wire,

Thanks Drains. Kinda thought that would be the case but the pic on @bay (item 110600990334) makes it look like the coating is a dullish copper colour rather than the usual shiney surface so thought it might be something special.
Cheers
John
