OVERVIEW

Experience Smooth Feeding and High Deposition

Upgrade your welding game with the Böhler Diamondspark Guard 420 MC. This .052" metal-cored wire is a dream to run, offering the best of both worlds: the high deposition rates of a flux-cored wire and the clean, slag-free finish of a solid wire. Because it is a seamless, copper-coated wire, it feeds through your liner and gun with minimal drag and excellent electrical contact, reducing tip wear and preventing the bird-nesting often associated with softer cored wires.

Welders will appreciate the exceptionally stable arc and minimal spatter this wire produces. The spray transfer mode achieved with mixed gas (Argon/CO2) creates a smooth bead profile with excellent wetting action, meaning less time grinding and more time welding. The "MC" (Metal Core) formulation produces small silicon islands rather than a heavy slag covering, so multi-pass welding is often possible without inter-pass deslagging. This feature alone can drastically improve your daily throughput on heavy fillet welds and groove joints.

Packaged in a convenient 16kg (approx. 35 lb) spool, this wire is ready for long runs in the shop. The E70C-6M-H4 classification confirms its quality, ensuring you get strong, ductile welds with incredibly low hydrogen content. Whether you are welding manually or setting up a robot, the Diamondspark Guard 420 MC gives you the control and speed you need to tackle heavy fabrication jobs with confidence.

FAQ

The Diamondspark Guard 420 MC is designed to be used with Argon/CO2 mixed gases (typically M21 class, such as 75% Argon / 25% CO2 or similar mixtures) to achieve a stable spray transfer.

This is a metal-cored wire (AWS E70C-6M). It contains a metal powder core rather than flux, resulting in higher deposition efficiency and minimal slag compared to flux-cored wires.

It is classified as AWS A5.18: E70C-6M-H4. The 'H4' indicates extremely low diffusible hydrogen content (less than 4ml per 100g of weld metal).

This specific spool contains wire with a diameter of .052 inches (approximately 1.3mm).

Metal-cored wires produce minimal slag, typically appearing as small silicon islands. While some cleaning may be required for aesthetics or painting, it is significantly less than traditional flux-cored wires.

This product comes on a 16kg spool, which is approximately 35.3 lbs.

The E70C-6M classification generally indicates a wire optimized for flat and horizontal positions. Out-of-position welding with metal-cored wire typically requires short-circuit or pulsed transfer modes and specific technique, though it is less common than with flux-cored wires.

Seamless wires do not have a folded seam, which prevents moisture absorption (low hydrogen) and allows for copper coating, improving feedability and contact tip life.
