National Standard Welding Wires

NATIONAL STANDARD WELDING WIRES

September 09, 2016.  For more than a century, National Standard has built lasting partnerships with our customers based on quality, consistency, value, and service. From our start as National Cable and Manufacturing Company more than 100 years ago, we have been supporting American jobs by proudly manufacturing our wires in the U.S.A.

Product Lines

We feature a full line of welding wires including carbon steel, stainless steel, flux cored, metal cored and aluminum.

NS Plus ™ premium copper-coated carbon steel welding wire is a mild steel solid filler welding wire for industrial and light duty applications.  Both NS Plus™ and National Standard’s CopperFree™ carbon steel welding wires are available in drums, reels, and both random-wound spools and layer-level wound wire spools.  They offer optimum feedability, enhanced welding performance, low spatter levels and longer tip life.

Our Satin Glide™ stainless steel welding line is available in spools, drums and reels for MIG applications, as well as cut lengths for TIG applications.

National Standard’s Alumi Glide™ aluminum welding wires are available in spools and cut lengths for MIG & TIG applications. 

Our NS Tru Core™ line includes flux cored and metal cored gas-shielded carbon steel electrodes for single and multiple pass welding.  Patented forming, feeding and drawing equipment with precise thermal treatment controls the type, amount and uniformity of surface oxides on the wire.

Innovative Packaging

National Standard’s innovative packaging options include Tru-Trac® wood reels, which maximize productivity and reduce downtimes associated with change-outs, and have a smaller dispersion pattern than barrel drum packages.  Tru-Trac®’s snag-free operations without drive roll overload deliver precise joint tracking and its “twistfree” wire let-off from a stationary tight wound reel requires only a few ounces of drag from up to 150’ from wire feeder.

Our Smart Pak® drum packaging is 100% recyclable, with lifting straps for easy maneuverability.  Multiple engineered wire dispensing solutions accommodate any shop configuration and its wire let-off system provides smooth feeding.
