Worldwide strength. Here’s how our manufacturing process gives you the most consistent,
high-quality wire:
Choose Lincoln. • Proprietary techniques for inspecting incoming raw steel ensure the
chemistry of each coil.
• Steel is graded according to chemical composition and matched to
the most appropriate finished product.
• Steel chemistries are held to extremely tight tolerances to ensure
consistency in mechanical properties and arc performance.
• Fluxes are inspected and monitored to ensure a consistent blend of
chemical elements.
• Moisture levels are monitored throughout processing, and lubricants
are carefully selected to provide the lowest moisture content.
All this results in high quality, consistency, and unparalleled performance

from your Innershield® wire.

RADIOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES
The opacity of NR-203MP slag to x-ray is such that slag inclusions will normally appear lighter than the weld. Voids will normally appear darker than the weld.
When using gamma-radiography, slag inclusions and voids will normally appear darker than the weld. Improved x-ray film readability usually can be
obtained by slight over-exposure at an excitation potential consistent with good x-ray practice, but not over 240 KV. For detailed information on welding
techniques, procedure adjustments, and their effects on weld appearance and quality, request publication C3.2400 in.Innershield® Electrode - Semiautomatic

Innershield® NS-3M is designed for very high deposition rates and increased resistance to hydrogen
cracking and porosity on steel containing sulfur or contaminates. It is recommended for single or
multiple pass welding on carbon steel and some low alloy steels in applications without impact strength
requirements. For high deposition on less than ideal welding surfaces – choose Innershield® NS-3M.

• Extremely high deposition rates. Flat and Horizontal
• Resists cracking – On high sulfur steel.
• Resists porosity – On mildly rusty, oily or dirty plate.
• Soft, low penetrating arc – For minimal base material add Conformance

Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed
standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not
limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropri-
ate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
