Advantages and Disadvantages of Metal Cored Wires
Flux cored and metal cored wires are capable of having deposition rates as high as 12-14 pounds per hour (5.4-6.4 Kg/hr) for a 0.045” (1.2mm) diameter wire. This compares to a solid MIG wire in the same diameter of 8-10 pounds per hour (3.6-4.5 Kg/hr).
