15345 - Bohler HL 46-MC Metal Cored Wire 1.4mm (0.052") 16kg Spool

Smooth Running, Low Spatter Metal Core Wire

For welders looking to increase travel speed without sacrificing bead quality, the Bohler HL 46-MC 1.4mm (0.052") metal-cored wire is a game-changer. This wire combines the best attributes of solid MIG wire and flux-cored wire. You get the deep penetration and side-wall fusion typical of cored wires, but with the clean, slag-free finish you expect from a solid wire. The 16 kg spool is standard for most industrial feeders, ensuring you have plenty of material for long runs.

The arc stability on the HL 46-MC is outstanding. It runs with a smooth, spray-like transfer that produces very little spatter, keeping your workpiece clean and reducing the need for grinding. Because it is a metal-cored wire, it wets out beautifully at the toes of the weld, creating a flat, smooth bead profile that looks professional and reduces stress concentrations. It is particularly forgiving when welding over mill scale or light rust compared to solid ER70S-6 wires, thanks to the deoxidizers in the core.

This wire is excellent for positional welding when using pulsed arc modes, but it truly shines in the flat and horizontal positions where you can crank up the wire feed speed. Whether you are welding heavy structural beams, machinery parts, or general fabrication projects, the HL 46-MC helps you get the job done faster. The copper coating ensures smooth feeding through your liner and gun, minimizing bird-nesting and contact tip burn-back.

Why Welders Choose HL 46-MC:

• Fast Travel Speeds: Get more feet of weld per hour.
• Minimal Cleanup: Very low spatter and almost no slag to chip.
• Smooth Feeding: Copper-coated and seamless for reliable wire delivery.
• Versatile: Great for manual welding and perfect for automation.
