Coreweld C-6 is a metal-cored wire designed to provide excellent arc characteristics, high travel speeds and minimal spatter.
Coreweld C6 was developed and “fine-tuned” especially for hand-held, automatic and robotic welding in the automotive industry, as well as rail car manufacturing, structural welding and other similar applications. Never before has there been such a perfect pairing of filler metal and industry requirements for quality, productivity and profitability.
