In today’s highly competitive market, where companies are constantly searching for ways to reduce ESAB Coreweld metal-cored wires have been developed to meet the needs of demanding applications
cost and increase productivity, metal-cored wires may be an answer. such as structural steel construction, heavy equipment, transportation, bridges, petrochemical
processing, offshore rigs, railcars, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, and general fabrication.
Metal-cored wires offer several advantages over their solid wire counterparts. Since metal-cored wires carry the current on the
outer sheath, current densities are considerably higher than those found in solid wires where the load is carried across the entire Utilizing advanced manufacturing processes and specially formulated composite fillers, Coreweld
metal-cored wires combine high deposition rates, high deposition efficiencies, high travel speeds,
cross-sectional area. As a result, the metal-cored arc tends to be softer and can bridge gaps easier with reduced tendency for
excellent penetration, and ease of use. These qualities make Coreweld the brand of choice for
burn-through. Metal-cored wires provide excellent arc stability and outstanding penetration and wetting, with excellent fusion at operators who want to see production levels increase, costs decrease, and profits rise.
the root joint and sidewall. The result is a high-quality weld with minimal slag and spatter, and fewer residual silicon islands.
