Metalshield® Z

Metal-Cored Gas-Shielded (GMAW-C)

CLASSIFICATIONS:
E70C-GS

Metalshield® Z enhances productivity and quality for welding galvanized and zinc-coated steels.

DETAILS

Designed to enhance productivity and quality of single pass lap and fillet welds on galvanized and other zinc coated steels (galvannealed).

Features

  • Designed to enhance productivity and quality of single pass lap and fillet welds on galvanized and other zinc coated steels (galvannealed)
  • Capable of travel speeds exceeding 55 inches per minute with zero external porosity and less than 1% internal porosity
  • Developed for optimal performance with Rapid Z® Waveform Control Technology®
  • Reduces both external and internal weld metal porosity inherent to welding coated steel
  • Ideal for welding thin gauge material
