ED033989CAN - Lincoln Ultracore HD-M .045 Gas-Shielded Flux-Core Wire 33lb

Industrial Grade High-Deposition Flux-Cored Wire

The Lincoln Electric Ultracore HD-M is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered to meet AWS E71T-1M and E71T-9M classifications, this wire is optimized for use with mixed shielding gases (typically 75-80% Argon with a CO2 balance). The "HD" designation signifies High Deposition, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring high travel speeds and significant metal throughput without sacrificing bead quality.

Technically, the Ultracore HD-M provides a stable arc with a spray-like transfer that minimizes spatter, a critical factor in reducing post-weld grinding and cleanup times in production environments. Its fast-freezing slag system supports all-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead, while maintaining a flat bead profile. The wire's formulation ensures robust mechanical properties, delivering consistent tensile strength and impact toughness suitable for structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing.

This 33lb spool is precision-wound to ensure consistent feeding characteristics, reducing the risk of tangling or burn-back during long weld runs. For fabrication shops prioritizing efficiency and weld integrity, the Ultracore HD-M offers a reliable solution that balances operator appeal with strict metallurgical performance standards.
