the lowest manganese emissions of similarly classified AWS A5.18 E70C-6 wires in the marketplace. It offers additional benefits associated with other of the company’s metal-cored wires, including increased deposition rates (compared to solid wires) that result in faster travel speeds. Also, this wire has been formulated to simplify silicon removal. When paired with a 75/25 argon and carbon dioxide shielding gas mixture, it offers 2.0 mL of diffusible hydrogen per 100 g of weldment. Operating with a 90/10 shielding gas blend yields ≤ 4.0 mL of hydrogen per 100 g of weldment. The wire is suitable for single or multipass welding on heavy equipment, shipbuilding, general fabrication, and railcar applications. The company will offer it in industrystandard diameters of 0.045, 0.052, and 1⁄16 in. on 33-lb spools or 60-lb coils. Hobart Brothers Co. www.hobartbrothers.com (800) 4241543 RealityBased Training System Available with Welding Positioning Arm The LiveArc™ reality-based training system has features to further advance students’ welding skills. It includes motion-tracking technology that provides immediate feedback. Also, it’s available with a welding positioning arm for training in out-of-position applications. With this, instructors can expand assignments beyond flat/horizontal welding parameters. The SmartGun includes additional LEDs for better sensing ability. The company has made free software upgrades available to augment the instruction interface and provides separate PC software that allows instructors to review student performance, add assignments, and make changes to existing assignments. Miller Electric Mfg. Co. www.millerwelds.com (800) 4264553 Welding Mat Offers SelfExtinguishing Surface The Comfort Weld™ antifatigue welding mat is an ergonomic product that guards against sparks and hot metal. Formulated and constructed to be fire retardant and shed sparks, it guards against the debris created when welding and enables welders to stand comfortably, minimizing the fatigue associated with standing for long periods of time. The mat also provides a self-extinguishing, slip-resistant surface, and the self-extinguishing material that makes up the nonslip pebble surface guards against sparks and hot metal along with providing ergonomic qualities.
