What wire do you boys prefer? I've been running a little of Lincoln’s L-56. Just bought another roll of it in .035 the other day for a project I’m doing some prefab on. I was pretty impressed at how well it handled the paint on some scrap beams I bought. I ground the paint off right in the weld zone, but this is that industrial paint used on beams that are for buildings. Not sure if the primer is a DP-40 or not, what ever it is, an O/A torch won’t hardly touch it, has to be ground off!
The first picture is an angle gusset I had to make.
The 2nd picture is a close up of the weld, please forgive the blurriness, not sure if it’s the cheap camera, or the loose nut behind the wheel.
3rd picture is a vertical weld I made with some .045,(1.1mm) L-56 on some 1/2-inch, (12.7mm) plate.
The 4th picture is a vertical up hill lap weld on some 3/16, (4.8mm) flatbar with some .030, (0.8mm) Hobart Wire. Both Hobart and the L-56 are AWS class ER 70S-6. Has anybody had any experience with Lincoln’s Super Glide S-6 wire? I just placed an order for some .030 L-56 for this same project coming up, almost ordered the Super Glide, but changed my mind!
