Because of the composite nature of cored wires, their current carrying density is greater, which improves the deposition rates at equal current levels when compared to solid wires. This results in a ball transfer of cored wire that disperses larger metal drops or balls, this type of transfer promoting low penetration \u0026amp; dilution suitable for hard facing.
