Lincoln Electric® has introduced the UltraCore® stainless steel flux-cored, gas-shielded wires available in commonly-used austenitic grades for flat and all-positional applications. The wires are preferred by welders for the polished appearance of the weld deposits, ease of welding out-of-position, and smooth wire feeding.
Sheena Suvak, senior product manager, alloys, Lincoln Electric stated, Flux-cored wires can provide great deposition at high wire feed speeds; given the nature of welding stainless, we knew ease of use was imperative. The UltraCore flux-cored stainless wires have a smooth arc characteristic that produces minimal spatter. The design creates an easier, out-of-position welding experience.
Designed with the welder in mind, UltraCore stainless steel wires deliver improved weldability characteristics, including:
Easier out-of-position welding
Smooth arc with minimal spatter
– Polished weld bead appearance
– Reduces post-weld cleaning
Wide operating range
The upgraded packaging includes the following:
Precision layer wound
– Steady spool payoff
– Consistent wire feeding
Vacuum-sealed foil bag
– Moisture-resistant package
New larger 33 lb spool package size
– Less changeover
– More arc time
Testing indicates UltraCore wires exhibit significantly greater arc stability over the length of the weld.
