EnDOtec®’s composite cross sectional design automatically produces a higher current density in the electrode’s metallic periphery over solid MIG/MAG wires of the same diameter using the same welding amperage. This ensures over 30% faster electrode fusion without sacrificing weld quality giving record weld deposition rates over MIG/MAG and Manual Metal Arc processes. Thanks to EnDOtec®’s intrinsic higher current density, a cored wire can always be welded at lower amperages than a solid wire whilst keeping a stable metal transfer across the arc due to ionising elements in the core. Lower heat input means that EnDOtec® welds have better bonding, lower dilution, superior microstructure properties and minimal heat affected zones for maximum service performance.
