Used this in New Zealand welding up structural projects. I can tell you that the travel speed and heat is beyond comprehension. If your lead hand is on the torch but a little close it will get so hot. Our guns had sheilds over the trigger about 4" squared to protect the hand from radiant heat. Ran on pure Argon, not an Argoshield mix, and penetrates like nothing else I have ever used. I can confirm that it is fast for production and less likely to suffer faliures during testing. Welders have a bad day, but the wiggle room from this wire gives leeway. It would bend a 40mm base plate butted on a UC with no prep like it was rubber. Had to stitch 50mm x 100mm stiffeners on the base plate prior to welding to counter the distortion. All welds move the material, but this was relentless. Didn't see it used anywhere else in all my years.
You are definitely not joking about the heat. Company I worked for tried this wire in the shop for "efficiency" reasons. Everybody made their own hand shields and wore heavy tig gloves with aluminum pads on the back. Sucked in summer time.
I ran a lot of 1/16th metal core wire building gondolas at Freight Car America. It really makes a pretty weld. We were going through 60lb spools about one every 4 or 5 days.
Mig wire looks the exact same if ran at the same amps, for my final project, i had to weld a pole together for new welding booths being made in the school and had to run it at like 26 amps 350 wire speed
I had to make a bridge retaining post so that a vehicle could not go over the side. We didn’t use this type of wire but would have been so much easier if we could have used it. I hated building it because each weld had to be a 9/16 pass and there was a lot of pieces to make the post that was bolted to the bridge. Each one was probably about 10-12 feet of weld. Nobody else at the shop had passed the weld test but me and I was hired to help out with cutting materials, fixing the equipment and vehicles until we had a weld test and nobody but myself passed.
Love Millermatic MIG welders. I won't ever buy anything else. I made the mistake of buying Hobarts once and that was enough. Miller all the way from now on!
@@WestleyPortelance Correct. I repair both Miller and Hobart. Pretty much the same thing. Just the Hobart name is Miller's "retail" brand. I've recommend the small Hobarts over the Millers due to the Hobarts having less complicated more durable parts. But, that has changed recently.
@wp7984 - that may be but the ones I had were completely different designs. The main issue being the gas valve was in the welder cabinet on the Hobart while it was in the spool gun of the Miller. Welding aluminum required instant gas shielding which the Miller's provided but the Hobarts didn't. There were other differences as well. The Miller's were just far better all around. I ended up selling the Hobarts.
@@holdernewtshesrearin5471 I'm glad you found the solution to the aluminum welding issue and fixed it. Believe me, I'm happy with 95% of Miller equipment. Great people work there and are always helpful. Please have a great day.
I have a bunch of miller and Lincoln, had one Hobart gas drive at one point. They’re all the same. They’re all good. Never had issues with any of them for years of abuse
Might wanna turn your heat down some or keep that wire even in the crack. And did I hear the salesman say, " Mineral powder or something ". Way to sell your product
I think you're correct this is way too hot The speed is way too fast on the wire setting he didn't say mineral he said chemical. Chemicals don't get added to wire rare earth minerals do otherwise you're just buying Hobart metally metacore super super glittery fastest wire so you could be done. Don't worry about the welder the finished product you have better things to do😂
@@Cameron_902or horizontal. Nothing out of position. My instructor briefly mentioned that you can use metalcore out of position if you’re using a robot and a specific setting. Something about surface tension and electromagnetism. I’m not sure😆
@@mattyd337 the company I work for just got a welding robot and it cannot weld out of position. I’d imagine you could if you used a pulse mode but I’ve never seen it. But also heard of people able to weld it out of position, never seen it tho

I run that wire shits like butter with proper settings , hot and fast. Doesn’t like out of position but it’s smoooooooooth
I love the random updates from the welding world. Innovation and invention aren't dead for sticking metal together!
Metal is forever!

this is some cool wire, i want to try welding with it now
So flux core welding. Without the slag. Dual shielded?
Mig wire looks the exact same if ran at the same amps, for my final project, i had to weld a pole together for new welding booths being made in the school and had to run it at like 26 amps 350 wire speed
Instead of flux it’s powdered metal so it’s about twice as fast as flux core and yes, no slag
It's not dual shielded. The stuff in the core just aids in deposition, alloying elements and ease of welding.
It’s metal core (iron powder) shielded with argon.

I use this at my job but 052 super freaking hot but easy to make look nice 👍🏽
I love it! Excellent tip!
Does it work on work on flesh wounds?
Need Xtra thick glove or hand backer dual shield runs so hot
I just love salesman

Millermatic are great mig welders. Miller makes Hobart welders. They are miller welders without all the extras.

Seems like the volts are a bit high?
Basically an iron powder rod in a wire
If your machine is adjusted correctly there will be a very little spatter by the way!
Is that gasless
no... 90/10 to 75/25 Argon/CO2 usually
Had same question thanks
No I read it uses Argon only no mix.
No bro that stuff hot we run 0.52 at are shop gotta have CO2 mixture it's stupid hot!!!!!!
@@ericsalidbar1693nope 90-10 minimum
Is it solid core or dual shield?
It's a tubular wire but not dual shielded like flux core.
What’s the wire I’d like to get my hands on this
@@andriesdupreez4170 we run 0.52 esab
@andriesdupreez4170 Hyundai makes some called super core and its cheaper but bro don't waste your money it's trash

Is it a flux weld or gas shielded?
Need gas 80-90% argon 20-10% co2
When I ran this wire it used pure Argon. Perhaps this product uses a mix, I don't know?
We usually run argon with 8% CO2 with our qualified MCAW procedure.
No use gas
Both
What model of Miller mug is that ?
Multimatic 255
@@kellyf8864 thank you.
So why not just run solid?
Wow
min. 28 to 32 volts , 3 .5 wire spead
We use 052 meatal core , lol
Looks very similar to the Spray method
Same thing just different type of wire. Same mode of transfer
We run it in spray transfer at are shop 0.52 90-10 29v at 385 inches
I would never have thought id see a mig without splatter everywhere.
Steel to cast? Cast? Hydrogen Imbritlement?
??? Metalcore what type of metal what type of rare earth metals are added to it kind of sounds like a dual shield wire.
Metal core . Buzz words solid wire with a new name
Except it is a tubular wire with a higher deposition rate than GMAW.
@@carlosrobertson8265correct
Looks like jet rod finished
So mig …. 😂
"We heard you like mig, so we got you some special mig wire so you can mig while you mig....you dig nig?
Holes
I hate metal core bloody jams up all the time.
I've used it for years it's your feeder or something else it feeds just fine.
Yeah, it’s a weaker wire because it’s hollow. Drives me crazy when shit is already not going my way
@@James-ec4ebyeah but when the company you work for doesn’t maintain their machines, it doesn’t make for an enjoyable experience
Your human airfilter
OK I get you guy's dont know how to weld
OMG it's not a flux coe ,,,,,,, need's gas
If you are going to film welding, how about make it soo we can see something besides the sun.
So a fancy marketing gimmick to promote the same mig welding wire but calling something different? 😅
It is different, it’s faster than hard wire mig but only used in flat position.

.045 is super burly wire.
All depends what size wire you are used to welding with. My last shop had 0.035 solid core, 0.045 and 0.062 dual shield and 0.055 hard facing wire.
Smells like bacon !
Hated running metal core, splatter horribly and sounded like crap
You were running it with the wrong settings.
Should be above 26 V which is the transition voltage to spray transfer mode.
Please do not aply at my job
