Mild Steel Metal-Cored Wires
Metalshield MC-6E70C-6MDC+For high quality welds that require a great bead shape, appearance and low spatter levels, you can’t beat MC-6. Combining the arc characteristics of MIG with the performance benefits of flux-cored welding, MC-6 is capable of fast travel speeds and high deposition rates with low smoke and spatter under high Argon gas blends.
Metalshield MC-706E70C-6M H8DC+When you’re welding heavy-duty materials in demanding environments like structural steel, heavy equipment, agricultural, or automotive component manufacturing, you need a highly productive wire. Metalshield MC-706 is built for productivity throughout the welding process. MC-706 even welds well over mill scale to reduce prep time. A stiff sheath aids in improving the feedability of the wire, and few metal-cored products compare in terms of bead shape and appearance. Not only does MC-706 reduce the amount of silicate islands, it also moves the silicate islands away from the toes and into the center of the bead, making it easier to remove the silicon and minimize cleanup time.
Metalshield MC-710XLE70C-6MDC+Lowest fume level in its class! Fume levels are typically 30% lower than competitive products.
Low Alloy Metal-Cored Wires
Metalshield MC-900E90C-GDC+MC-900 is a virtually spatter-free electrode designed for high-speed welding where exceptional bead wetting is important.
Metalshield MC-1100E110C-GDC+MC-1100 has exceptional bead wetting in high-speed welding applications. Spatter is almost non-existent.
