Coreshield 6
Coreshield 6 is a high productivity, high deposition gasless flux cored wire. This self-shielded wire is ideal for single or multiple pass weld applications in addition to providing high deposition rates, low spatter, and good penetration. Because of its stiffer weld puddle, Coreshield 6 offers exceptional multi-pass weld stacking characteristics, produces excellent bead appearance and X-ray quality weld deposits. Coreshield 6 is run DCEP (electrode positive).
