A5.20, CARBON STEEL Flux Cored Arc Welding Electrodes
is a self-shielding flux cored wire
E71T-11 is a self-shielding flux cored wire used for welding carbon steels. This product does not require a shielding gas and can be used in limited multi-pass welding operations. The bead appearance is not equal to a gas-shielded product, but the benefits of not having to use gas makes this product popular. E71T-11 operates on straight polarity only (DCEN).

Typical Applications

Butt, lap and fillet welds on steel 16 gauge through ½”
Assembly and maintenance welding
