ED037105 - Lincoln Metalshield MC-70 XLS .045 Metal Core Wire 33lb

Maximize Production Efficiency with Lincoln Metalshield MC-70 XLS

In the competitive landscape of heavy fabrication and industrial manufacturing, cycle time and finish quality are paramount. The Lincoln Electric Metalshield® MC-70 XLS™ is a premium mild steel metal-cored wire engineered specifically to address the bottlenecks associated with post-weld cleaning and surface preparation. Unlike traditional metal-cored wires that often leave distinct silicon islands on the weld face, the MC-70 XLS features a specialized chemical formulation that minimizes these deposits. This reduction in silicon islands means that parts can often move directly to painting or coating stages with little to no grinding, significantly streamlining production workflows.

Designed for high-speed applications, this .045-inch diameter wire is an excellent choice for both robotic automation and hard automation setups where consistency is critical. The wire supports high deposition rates and fast travel speeds, allowing manufacturers to maximize the output of their welding cells. The 33 lb spool size is a standard configuration that fits most industrial wire feeders, ensuring seamless integration into existing equipment. Furthermore, the wire's ability to tolerate contaminants like mill scale and rust reduces the need for extensive pre-weld preparation, further accelerating the fabrication process.

Quality assurance is built into the specification of the Metalshield MC-70 XLS. With an AWS classification of E70C-6M-H4, this wire guarantees low diffusible hydrogen levels (H4), which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of critical components and reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking. Whether used in the manufacturing of heavy equipment, automotive components, or structural steel, this Lincoln Electric consumable delivers a reliable, high-quality weld deposit that meets rigorous industrial standards.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Reduced Labor Costs: Minimal post-weld cleaning requirements lower labor hours per part.
• High Throughput: Optimized for fast travel speeds and high deposition rates.
• Process Reliability: Consistent arc performance suitable for robotic integration.
