The Lincoln Electric Innershield® NR®-212 is a premium self-shielded flux-cored wire designed to handle a broad spectrum of mild steel welding applications. Engineered for versatility and ease of use, this .045-inch diameter wire is an excellent choice for welders who require reliable performance without the logistical burden of external shielding gas cylinders. Whether you are working in a shop environment or out in the field, the NR-212 delivers consistent results across single and multiple pass welds.
One of the standout features of the Innershield NR-212 is its "fast freeze" slag characteristic. This property allows the molten pool to solidify quickly, making it exceptionally capable for vertical-up and overhead welding positions. Unlike many other wires that struggle against gravity, the NR-212 maintains bead shape and integrity, ensuring structural soundness in complex assemblies. Furthermore, this wire is formulated to be forgiving; it accommodates poor fit-up and gaps between plates, which is a common challenge in maintenance and repair operations.
The arc performance of the NR-212 is smooth and stable, producing a bead appearance that is clean and professional. It is suitable for welding on material thicknesses up to 3/4 inch (19 mm), making it a go-to solution for light structural steel, sheet metal fabrication, and general machinery part creation. The 25lb spool size provides a substantial amount of material for extended projects, reducing downtime associated with frequent spool changes. By utilizing DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) polarity, this wire maximizes penetration while maintaining a manageable heat input.
