If you are tired of spending half your day chipping slag and grinding off glass-like silicon islands, the Lincoln Electric Metalshield® MC-70 XLS™ is the wire you have been waiting for. This 0.045-inch metal-cored wire is built for welders who need speed without the mess. Lincoln Electric designed the "XLS" formula specifically to reduce those annoying silicon deposits that plague standard metal-cored wires. The result? A weld bead that comes out clean, smooth, and ready for the next pass or the paint booth with almost no post-weld prep required.
Running this wire is a dream for both manual and robotic applications. It offers the high deposition rates you expect from a metal-core wire, meaning you can lay down more metal in less time compared to solid MIG wire. The arc is soft yet powerful, providing excellent penetration while maintaining a wide, flat bead that ties in perfectly at the toes. It bridges gaps easily, which is a lifesaver when fit-up isn't perfect. Because it produces very little spatter, your nozzles stay cleaner longer, and you spend less time scraping BBs off your workpiece. It runs on standard Argon/CO2 blends, so it fits right into most existing shop setups.
This 33 lb spool (ED037106) is perfect for high-volume shops looking to boost productivity. Whether you are welding automotive exhaust systems, chassis components, or heavy structural steel, the MC-70 XLS delivers consistent, high-quality results. The stability of the arc allows for faster travel speeds, helping you get parts out the door quicker. Plus, with its low hydrogen content, you can trust that your welds are strong and crack-resistant. Upgrade your welding game with a wire that works as hard as you do—choose Lincoln Metalshield MC-70 XLS for a smoother, cleaner, and faster welding experience.
