The Hobart Megafil 240M is a premium metal-cored welding wire formulated for high-strength applications requiring excellent low-temperature toughness. Classified as AWS E80C-Ni1, this wire deposits a low alloy steel weld metal containing approximately 1% Nickel. This composition ensures superior impact properties, making it an ideal choice for critical structural fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and pressure vessel construction.
Designed for versatility, the Megafil 240M operates effectively with mixed shielding gases. It is optimized for use with 95% Argon / 5% Oxygen or 80% Argon / 20% CO2 mixtures. The wire delivers a stable arc with high deposition efficiency, characteristic of metal-cored consumables. It produces minimal slag, significantly reducing post-weld cleaning time and increasing overall productivity in automatic and mechanized welding setups.
In addition to standard low alloy applications, this wire is suitable for welding certain weathering steels where strict color matching is not a primary requirement. Its robust mechanical properties and consistent feedability make it a reliable solution for demanding industrial environments requiring high-integrity welds.
