Welding wire Lincoln Arcweld AS2 1.2 mm, 15 kg spool (C12V015P6E02)

Solid welding wire Lincoln Arcweld AS2, 1.2 mm diameter on a 15 kg spool, is designed for gas-shielded MIG/MAG welding of mild and low-alloy steels. The wire is intended for general-purpose fabrication, repair and maintenance, and is compatible with appropriate shielding gases and standard MIG/MAG parameters. Delivered on a 15 kg spool, this filler wire provides a consistent feed and stable arc for routine workshop and light industrial welding tasks.

Advantages

Lincoln Arcweld AS2 solid wire offers uniform chemistry and diameter tolerance to promote stable welding performance and consistent bead appearance. The product is suitable for automated and manual MIG/MAG welding setups and supports reliable feedability from the spool. Its composition is adapted for good wetting and sound fusion on common structural steels when used with the correct shielding gas and welding parameters.

Suitable for

• General fabrication and structural steel welding
• Workshop repairs and maintenance
• Light industrial production and assembly
• MIG/MAG automated or semi-automatic welding systems

Key specifications

• Wire type: solid welding wire for gas-shielded MIG/MAG welding
• Diameter: 1.2 mm
• Package weight: 15 kg spool
• Suitable base materials: mild steel and low-alloy steel
• Intended shielding: CO2, argon/CO2 mixtures or other suitable MIG/MAG gases

How to use

Install the 15 kg spool onto the welding machine spindle ensuring proper alignment and feed tension to avoid bird-nesting. Select welding parameters (voltage, current and wire feed speed) appropriate for 1.2 mm solid wire and the thickness of the base material; refer to equipment charts or Lincoln recommended settings for similar wire types. Use the appropriate shielding gas for the application and maintain a consistent travel speed and electrode-to-work distance to achieve correct fusion and bead profile. Store unused wire in a dry environment to prevent surface contamination or oxidation that could affect weld quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results on mild and low-alloy steels, match shielding gas and parameter settings to the material thickness and joint type. Prior to critical welds, perform sample welds to confirm settings and inspect bead appearance and penetration. Maintain clean joint surfaces free of scale, rust, oil and moisture.
