ED033911 - Lincoln Metalshield MC-110 .052 Metal Core Wire 33lb

High-Strength Metal-Cored Wire for Critical Applications

The Lincoln Electric Metalshield MC-110 is a premium low-alloy metal-cored wire designed specifically for applications requiring exceptional tensile strength. Engineered to deliver weld deposits with a minimum tensile strength of 110,000 psi (760 MPa), this .052-inch diameter wire is the go-to solution for fabricating high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels such as HY-80, HY-100, and ASTM A514. Its metal-cored construction combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiency and low slag generation of solid wires, making it a highly productive choice for heavy industrial environments.

Fabricators rely on Metalshield MC-110 for its superior arc stability and wetting characteristics. The wire produces a smooth, flat bead profile that ties in well at the toes, reducing the risk of stress risers and minimizing post-weld grinding. It is formulated to operate best with Argon-rich shielding gas mixtures (typically 75-95% Argon with a CO2 balance), which helps achieve a spray transfer mode that virtually eliminates spatter. This wire is particularly effective for single and multi-pass welding in flat and horizontal positions, ensuring deep penetration and reliable fusion in thick plate sections.

Available in a standard 33 lb spool, the ED033911 ensures consistent feeding and performance. It is widely utilized in industries where structural integrity is paramount, including the manufacturing of cranes, heavy earthmoving equipment, and pressure vessels. By choosing Metalshield MC-110, you ensure your welds meet rigorous mechanical property requirements while maintaining high productivity levels.
