Coreshield 10 is a self-shielded flux cored welding wire designed for high speed single pass welding of thin gauge carbon, aluminized and galvanized steels.
Coreshield 10 is a self-shielded flux cored welding wire designed for high speed single pass welding of thin gauge carbon, aluminized and galvanized steels. Its low spatter and excellent bead appearance makes it an ideal choice for high production applications. The use of DCEN (electrode negative) minimizes the risk of burn-through. High deposition efficiencies make it an ideal choice for automation. Coreshield 10 produces good wetting characteristics at high speeds making it suitable for robotic applications. It is designed to be used on automotive components, semi-trailer frames and axles, hot water tanks and door frames.
