An incredible wire, and the nicest welds you will ever see. It’s genuinely a joy to weld with, and we’ve tried it on every and all type of mild steel application. A pure quality product.

ESAB Coreweld 46 LS is the premium equivalent of Lincoln Electric Outershield MC710 metal-cored MIG wire, and is designed for the below reasons.

1. Ultra clean, no spatter, and no silica.
2. Super smooth spray transfer (welds like liquid metal is pouring out of the end of the shroud).
3. Flat welds with deep penetration and wetting into plate for superior fusion.
4. Very high deposition rates (quick welds). This dramatically reduces weld time, reduces heat input in the Heat Affect Zone (in and out quicker), and massively increasing productivity.
5. This wire produces very strong welds, and used on high strength 355 to 460 MPa mild steels.
6. Can bridge very wide gaps very easily (which is often needed), setting quickly, making it very good for difficult to weld plating prep situations.

Metal-cored wires offer many more advantages over solid wire. Since metal-cored wires carry the current on the outer sheath, current densities are considerably higher than weld current being spread across the entire cross-sectional area of solid wire. As a result, the metal-cored arc tends to be softer and more controlled, with reduced tendency to burn through.
