Welding Solutions: Wire Combines Advantages of MIG with Performance of Flux-Core

Metalshield^® gas-shielded metal-cored wire from Lincoln Electric combines the arc characteristics of MIG with the performance benefits of flux-cored welding. For high quality welds requiring great bead shape, appearance and low spatter levels, it is the premier product in its class.

Designed for virtually slag-free deposits in single- or multiple-pass welding applications, Metalshield achieves robust low temperature impact results and can be used in semiautomatic and automatic applications. This product is excellent for welding over scale or surface contaminants. Typical applications include mining or other heavy equipment, offshore and general structural fabrication.

Tubular rod manufacturing with proprietary metal-cored fill adds value with increased productivity and consistent welding performance. This combination leads to better wash-in, higher quality beads, less spatter, reduced downtime for cleaning, higher travel speeds and increased tolerance on mill scale over standard MIG wire.

Metalshield metal-cored wire is built to optimize productivity throughout the welding process and is the choice for operators who want the advantages of MIG with the performance and increased productivity of flux-cored wire. www.lincolnelectric.com
