ED500396 - Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld L-50 Submerged Arc Wire 1/8" 60lb Coil

Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld L-50 Submerged Arc Wire

The Lincoln Electric Lincolnweld L-50 is a premium mild steel solid electrode designed specifically for submerged arc welding (SAW) processes. Identified by the internal SKU ED500396, this wire is formulated with a low carbon content and a balanced composition of medium manganese and silicon. This specific chemistry (AWS EM13K) makes it an industry standard for general-purpose fabrication where reliability and bead consistency are paramount.

One of the standout technical characteristics of the L-50 wire is its tolerance for contaminants. It provides excellent resistance to porosity, even when welding over rust, mill scale, or light oil, making it ideal for structural steel environments where surface preparation may not always be perfect. When paired with Lincolnweld 980 flux, it delivers a highly stable arc and superior slag detachment, suitable for semiautomatic submerged arc welding setups.

This product comes in a substantial 60 lb coil, designed to maximize arc time and minimize changeovers in industrial settings. The 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter allows for high deposition rates, essential for heavy-duty welding on pressure vessels, structural beams, and general plate fabrication. Whether used for single-pass or multiple-pass applications, the Lincolnweld L-50 ensures mechanical properties that meet rigorous industry standards.
