Lincoln Electric has introduced the new Metalshield® MC®-90 and Metalshield® MC®-110 welding wires. Both of these new consumables are premium low alloy metal-cored wires designed to produce high strength, high toughness, and H4 diffusible hydrogen weld deposits required in many applications, such as heavy equipment and crane fabrication. Key features of the product include low spatter and excellent arc stability; enhanced silicon island management; low temperature impact properties – capable of exceeding 40 J (30 ft•lbf) @ -51°C (-60°F) Charpy V-Notch test results; H4 diffusible hydrogen; deoxidizing agents that minimize pre- and post-weld clean up. Metalshield® MC®-90 and Metalshield® MC®-110 are ideal for both semi-automatic and robotic applications with best-in-class operator appeal, low spatter, and excellent arc stability. Enhanced silicon island management minimizes slag and eases slag removal.
