Metal Core vs. Solid Wire - From a Filler Metal Expert

Have you tried metal-cored wire for your welding production? Metal-cored wire is growing in popularity. Metal-cored wire has proven to be a preferred filler metal for fab shops that produce longer welds. Compared to a typical solid wire application, metal cored wire offers higher current density, bridges gaps better and allows for faster travel speeds. In addition, metal cored wire provides higher efficiencies and lower cycle times in automated applications.
This video showcases a hands-on comparison between standard solid wire and two Hobart metal-cored wire products, FabCOR 86R and FabCOR EDGE XP.
FabCOR 86R – Metal-cored, general purpose use. This is designed specifically for high speed welding on unclean material. Scavengers within the wire draw out the dirty material, leaving you with a beautifully profiled weld with no brokenness, a nice tie in, and no silicon entrapment within the weld.
FabCOR EDGE XP – Metal-cored wire for clean material. Offers faster travel speeds and is designed for eliminating post weld cleanup.
