69157016U - Vanguard KX-706M Metal Core Welding Wire 1/16-Inch 700lb Drum

Industrial Grade Metal Core Wire for High-Volume Fabrication

The Vanguard KX-706M is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication and automated manufacturing. Formulated to meet AWS E70C-6M specifications, this wire combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiency and low slag of solid wires. The 1/16-inch (1.6mm) diameter is optimized for structural applications where deep penetration and fast travel speeds are critical.

Supplied in a substantial 700lb drum (pail pack), this product is specifically targeted at continuous welding operations, such as robotic cells or hard automation setups, where frequent spool changes would disrupt productivity. The bulk packaging ensures a straight, twist-free wire feed, which is essential for consistent arc placement and weld quality in automated environments.

This metal core wire excels in flat and horizontal fillet welds, offering a smooth spray transfer arc when used with Argon-rich shielding gas mixtures. It produces minimal spatter and virtually no slag, significantly reducing post-weld cleaning and grinding labor. Whether used for automotive frames, structural steel, or heavy machinery, the KX-706M delivers consistent mechanical properties and excellent bead aesthetics.
