Lincoln Electric, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, has added the new L-59 MIG wire, which is specifically designed for automated welding applications, to its SuperArc consumables line. This consumable’s enhanced features make it suitable for automated welding solutions, single and multiple-pass welds and for use in the automotive, structural, pipeline and offshore, as well as general and heavy fabrication industries. The SuperArc L-59 is a copper-coated, mild steel consumable that provides a stable arc, as well as consistent feedability. The deoxidizing arc tolerates relatively high amounts of surface contaminants. This wire works with 100% CO2, 75-80% Argon balance CO2, or 95-98% Argon balance CO2 shielding gases. It can accommodate a 30-50CFH flow rate. Additionally, the L-59 wires conform to AWS A5.18, ASME SFA-5.18, and CWB CSA W48 requirements.
