Lincoln Welding Wire Selection Guide

 

Innershield® Wire

Innershield wire by Lincoln Electric is one of the most user-friendly, convenient, versatile wires on earth. This exceptionally feedable and consistent wire includes shielding, slagging, and deoxidating materials built right into its inner core. That means no external gas bottles or flux on the job! It's a superb choice for bridges, offshore drilling rigs, and other outside welding applications where winds are a factor. Recommended to be used with constant voltage power sources. Lincoln pays more attention to chemistry, quality of raw materials, and manufacturing processes than any wire manufacturer in the world!
