The Shield-Bright series of gas-shielded stainless cored wires are specially designed to produce superior operability for all-position welding applications. Regardless of position, the weld deposit will be flat, which is a quality provided by the faster freezing slag. With a rutile based slag system, Shield-Bright gas-shielded flux-cored wires always operate in the spray transfer mode and can be used at high currents with high deposition rates using mixed or CO2 shielding gas. A full range of grades makes product selection simple.

Shield-Bright wires have easy slag release, even in V butt joints. When not completely self-releasing, the slag can be removed with minimum effort. The spatter levels are nearly non-existent, allowing for additional savings in post-weld cleaning.
