245019518 - Esab Dual Shield 700X 3/32-inch Flux Core Wire 27.2kg Coil

High-Performance Flux Core Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Esab Dual Shield 700X is a premium flux-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Classified as an E70T-1C/E70T-9C wire, this consumable is engineered specifically for welding mild steel in the flat and horizontal positions. Its 3/32-inch (2.4mm) diameter makes it an excellent choice for depositing large volumes of weld metal quickly, significantly boosting productivity in manufacturing environments where speed and weld integrity are paramount.

Part of Esab's renowned Dual Shield X Series, the 700X is formulated to operate with 100% CO2 shielding gas. This not only reduces operational costs compared to argon-mixed gases but also provides the deep penetration necessary for thick structural sections. The wire produces a stable arc with a spray-like transfer, resulting in a smooth bead profile and excellent tie-in at the toes of the weld. This makes it particularly effective for multi-pass welding on heavy plate, such as that found in the construction of earthmoving equipment, railcars, and large structural beams.

One of the standout features of the Dual Shield 700X is its slag system. The slag coverage is complete yet easily detachable, often curling up on its own as the weld cools. This feature is critical when welding in deep grooves or fillets, as it reduces the labor time required for inter-pass cleaning and chipping. The 27.2 kg (60 lb) coil packaging ensures longer run times between changeovers, further enhancing shop efficiency. For fabricators looking to maximize deposition rates without sacrificing bead appearance or mechanical properties, the Esab Dual Shield 700X is a proven industrial solution.
