E71T-1 C/1M Flux-Cored Carbon Steel Wire Baked 1/16in x 10 Spool, 10 Pounds

Weldcote Metals E71T-1 features lower spatter and fume emissions than conventional products int his class E71T-1 is intended for single and multiple pass welding of carbon and certain low alloy steels in all positions, particularly in the overhead and vertical up positions.Weldcote Metals E71T-1 is used where a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi is require in the deposited weld metal.Weldcote metals E71T-1 electrodes are classified with CO? shielding gas by this specification however, gas mixtures of argon-CO? are also used to improve usability, especially for out of position applications.Decreasing amount of CO2 in the argon-CO2 mixture will increase manganese and silicon in the deposit and may improve the impact properties. The larger diameters 5/64 and larger are used for welding in the flat position and for horizontal fillets. The smaller diameters usually 1/16 and smaller are used for welding in all positions.E71T-1 is characterized by a spray transfer, low spatter loss, flat to slightly convex bead configuration with a moderate volume of slag which completely covers the weld bead. E71T-1 electrodes have a rutile base slag.
