ProStar Premium Quality

Tubular Wire

New manufacturing technologies deliver
higher consistency, quality and performance.

ProStar flux-cored and metal-cored wire represent the
latest in tubular wire design and provide consistency,
quality, and performance. New manufacturing
technologies provide enhanced feedability, weldability
and overall performance. Rigorous inspection systems
ensure that ProStar tubular wire exhibits the same high-
quality standards on a continuous basis.

ProStar Premium Quality Metal-Cored Wire
ProStar metal-cored wire
sets a higher standard ProStar metal-cored wires are designed to provide higher deposition
in performance:
rates and travel speeds for high-speed production environments. When
• Higher deposition efficiency combined with Praxair welding gases such as Stargon VS welding
™
• Higher productivity blend, they provide high-quality welds with minimal silica islands.
• Lower fume generation
• Improved sidewall fusion AWS Class Performance Characteristics
• Improved metal transfer ProStar StarCore 6 Wire E70C-6M H4 For general-purpose applications
• Better bead profile „Visit Page C16 and welding over rust and mill scale
ProStar StarCore 6LF Wire E70C-6M H14 Lower fume generation than other
