Technical Features
- Self-shielded flux core construction — eliminates the requirement for an external shielding gas cylinder, reducing setup time and equipment costs in the field.
- All-position welding capability (E71T-GS classification) — supports flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead weld orientations, increasing job-site versatility.
- Rated for single-pass applications at high travel speed — delivers efficient deposition on production runs where throughput is a priority.
- Runs hotter than solid wires — improves fusion and penetration characteristics on applicable base metals without requiring process changes.
- Compatible with rusty, dirty, and painted base material — reduces the need for extensive pre-weld surface preparation, saving preparation time.
- Optional Argon/CO2 shielding gas compatibility — while no gas is required, use of an Argon/CO2 mix is documented to reduce spatter when conditions permit.
- 79,000 PSI tensile strength — meets structural performance requirements for mild steel single-pass weld joints.
- Suitable for 18-gauge mild steel or thicker — provides a defined minimum material thickness guideline for consistent weld quality.
Applications
- All-position MIG (GMAW) welding on mild steel structures and fabrications
- Outdoor and windy job-site conditions where shielding gas retention is unreliable
- Single-pass welds on 18-gauge mild steel sheet and heavier stock
- Repair and maintenance welding on surfaces with rust, mill scale, paint, or contamination
- High-travel-speed production welding applications
