OVERVIEW

Reliable Gasless Flux Core Wire for General Fabrication

The Gasless Flux Core MIG Wire .035 E71T-11 is a premium choice for welders seeking versatility and convenience. Designed as a self-shielded flux cored wire, it eliminates the need for external shielding gas bottles, making it significantly easier to transport your welding setup to remote job sites or move around a large workshop. This wire is engineered to perform exceptionally well in outdoor environments where wind would typically disperse shielding gas, ensuring a sound weld every time.

This E71T-11 wire is formulated for all-position welding, allowing operators to tackle flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead joints with ease. It is particularly effective on mild steel and is forgiving enough to handle materials that may have light rust, oil, or mill scale. This makes it an excellent option for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) tasks where perfect surface preparation isn't always possible. The .035-inch diameter is a standard size compatible with a wide range of MIG welders, from compact 110V hobbyist machines to larger industrial power sources.

One of the standout features of this product is its smooth arc characteristics. Despite being a flux-cored wire, which is traditionally associated with higher spatter, this formulation minimizes spatter levels and produces a slag covering that is easy to remove. The result is a clean, professional-looking bead with deep penetration. Whether you are repairing farm equipment, fabricating structural components, or working on galvanized fencing, this wire delivers consistent mechanical properties and durability.

Key Benefits:

  • No Gas Required: Operates on DCEN polarity without a gas tank, saving cost and setup time.
  • Outdoor Ready: The internal flux generates its own shielding, making it impervious to wind drafts.
  • Versatile Usage: Suitable for single and multi-pass welds on carbon steel.

FAQ

No, this is a self-shielded flux core wire (E71T-11). The flux inside the wire creates its own protective gas shield as it burns, so no external gas tank is required.

You must use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative), also known as straight polarity. This means the ground clamp goes to Positive (+) and the gun goes to Negative (-).

No, this wire is designed specifically for mild carbon steel. It is not suitable for stainless steel or aluminum welding.

Yes, E71T-11 is excellent for outdoor use because the shielding is generated at the arc and is not easily blown away by wind, unlike gas-shielded MIG welding.

It is highly recommended to use knurled drive rolls (often marked with a 'K' or having teeth). Smooth rolls can slip or crush the hollow flux-cored wire, causing feeding issues.

Yes, E71T-11 has deoxidizers that allow it to weld over light to moderate rust, mill scale, and dirt better than solid MIG wire.

E71T-11 is generally rated for multi-pass welding on carbon steel, unlike E71T-GS which is strictly single-pass. However, always check specific thickness limitations for critical structural work.

This wire has a diameter of 0.035 inches, which is a very common size for general fabrication and repairs on material thicknesses ranging from 16 gauge up to 1/4 inch or more.
