Reduce Surface Silicate
Lincoln Electric's Low Silicate GMAW solution combines Waveform Control Technology® with ultra-low silicate wire – delivering high-speed, low-spatter weld performance that reduces post-weld cleanup and improves paint adhesion.
Typical Weld Results
The combination of innovative waveform and wire chemistry produces significantly reduced surface silicates.
Corrosion Testing
With reduced surface silicate, the Rapid X LS solution allows for improved paint adhesion and coverage — helping to maximize corrosion resistance on the weld bead and weld toes.
