The invention provides coating for a copper-plating-free welding wire and application thereof and belongs to the field of copper-plating-free welding wires. The coating comprises the following raw materials of, by weight, 30-40 parts of acrylic resin emulsion, 5-10 parts of grapheme, 10-20 parts of nano titanium dioxide, 2-5 parts of calcium stearate, 2-3 parts of a dispersing agent, 1-2 parts of a wetting agent, 1-2 parts of a defoaming agent and 25-40 parts of water. According to the coating for the copper-plating-free welding wire, a coated layer can be formed on the surface of the welding wire, and according to the prepared welding wire, abrasion of an existing copper-plating-free welding wire to a current contact nozzle can be greatly reduced, and the wire feeding performance of the welding wire in the using process can be improved. A uniform and thickness-controllable protective film can be formed on the surface of the copper-plating-free welding wire, the surface of the welding wire is smooth, and the problems of unsmooth wire feeding, harsh electric arc sound, splashing, lots of air holes and the like are prevented.
