diamondspark 52 MC is a seamless copper-coated all positional metalcored high efficiency wire from the diamondspark range. It has been developed for the high duty cycle, mechanized and robotic welding of unalloyed and fine-grained constructional steel up to 460 MPa yield and impact requirements down to -50 °C. The ultra-low weld metal hydrogen content – at the level of solid wires – combined with absolute resistance against moisture reabsorption during storage and use – gives the best possible protection against hydrogen assisted / induced cracking. diamondspark 52 MC is especially designed for fully automatic welding of constructional steels. It has an extra high weld recovery of 95 - 97 % and allows easy arc setting and spray arc welding over a wider envelop of welding parameters than solid wire. The high rigidy, controlled cast & helix and perfect surface finish of the wire result in excellent feedability, low contact tip wear, an extremely stable, spatter-free arc and perfectly positioned, straight welds with smooth tie-in. High resistance to weld porosity. (* using mixed gas M20)
