Welding wire
07 November 2013
ESAB's Coreweld 46 LS metal cored welding wire is designed for high speed, thin plate welding to a minimum thickness of 1.0mm.

ESAB says the wire will out perform solid MAG welding wire in terms of both the quality of weld produced and productivity and can ensure reductions in welding costs with both mechanised and robotic welding and fabrication processes.
The product also performs well in the manual welding of thicker plates. The wide operating parameter box makes it easy for welders to control the welding arc and produce welds with perfect profiles; safe, spatter free re-striking make life easier for the manual welder.
With Coreweld 46 LS, the stable, spray arc transfer can result in travel speeds of 150-200cm/min on fillet or overlap welds as well as both curved and circumferential welds. Stable welding starts at just below 200A. Welds produced with Coreweld 46 LS have no - or very low levels of silica on the weld surface, so post-weld cleaning requirements are substantially reduced.
