Product Details
The E71T-GS self flux-core welding wire is designed for mild steel applications and is suitable for all-position welding, particularly effective in single pass projects that require high travel speed. It features a pink color coding on the label and does not necessitate shielding gas, with a recommended polarity of DCEN straight. The wire has a weight of 2 lbs. (0.907 kg) and a diameter of .035 inches. It offers a tensile strength of 79,000 psi and is self-shielded, making it effective for use on rusty, dirty, and painted materials. The E71T-GS produces moderate to low spatter, which can be further minimized by using an argon/CO2 mix, and it operates at a higher temperature than solid wires, making it optimal for quick applications. This welding wire is also particularly well-suited for outdoor use as it eliminates the risk of wind interference that can lead to porosity in gas-shielded welding processes.
