OVERVIEW

High-Performance ESAB Coreweld C6 Metal Core Wire

Josef Gas is proud to supply the ESAB Coreweld C6, a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial fabrication. This 15kg spool of .045" (1.2mm) wire carries the AWS classification E70C-6M H4 and CSA E491C-6M-H4, marking it as a top-tier choice for structural steel, automotive manufacturing, and heavy equipment production. Unlike standard solid wires, Coreweld C6 is a composite wire that combines a metal sheath with a core of metallic powders, resulting in higher current density, broader penetration profiles, and exceptional deposition rates.

Industrial facilities and fabrication shops choose Coreweld C6 for its ability to streamline operations. The wire is engineered to provide industry-leading arc stability, which is critical for both manual welders looking for ease of use and automated robotic cells requiring consistent, fault-free feeding. The formulation is optimized for use with Argon-based shielding gas mixtures (typically 75-95% Argon with a CO2 balance), which helps achieve a smooth spray transfer mode with minimal spatter. This reduction in spatter, combined with very low slag formation, means your team spends less time grinding and cleaning and more time welding, directly boosting throughput and profitability.

Reliability is key in supply chain management, and the ESAB Coreweld C6 delivers consistent chemistry and mechanical properties spool after spool. It is particularly effective for welding grade 350, 400, and 480 MPa structural steels. Whether you are welding chassis frames, railcars, or general structural components, this wire offers excellent gap-bridging capabilities and wetting action, ensuring high-quality joints even when fit-up is less than perfect. Trust Josef Gas to keep your inventory stocked with high-performance consumables like the Coreweld C6 to maintain your competitive edge in the manufacturing sector.

FAQ

Coreweld C6 is designed for use with Argon/CO2 mixtures, typically containing 75% to 95% Argon with the balance being CO2.

This is a metal-cored wire (MCAW). It has a metallic powder core rather than a flux core, resulting in higher efficiency and less slag than flux-cored wires.

The AWS classification is E70C-6M H4. It also meets CSA standard E491C-6M-H4.

Coreweld C6 is primarily designed for flat and horizontal welding positions due to the fluid puddle characteristic of metal-cored wires.

This product is a .045" (1.2mm) diameter wire supplied on a 15kg (33lb) spool.

Metal-cored wires like Coreweld C6 produce very minimal slag, often appearing as small islands of silicon that are easily removed, unlike the heavy slag coverage of flux-cored wires.

Yes, Coreweld C6 is excellent for robotic applications due to its consistent feeding, stable arc, and low spatter levels.

This wire should be welded using Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).
