Esab Dual Shield 7100 Ultra: Industrial Grade Flux Cored Wire

The Esab Dual Shield 7100 Ultra is a premium all-position flux-cored welding wire designed for general purpose and structural steel fabrication. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this 0.035-inch diameter wire is packaged in a convenient 6.8 kg (15 lb) spool, making it suitable for both shop floor wire feeders and portable welding units. The wire is formulated to provide excellent mechanical properties and weldability, meeting AWS E71T-1C and E71T-1M classifications.

One of the primary advantages of the Dual Shield 7100 Ultra is its versatility regarding shielding gas. Fabricators can utilize either economical 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mixed gas, depending on the specific requirements of the job or gas availability. This flexibility allows for optimization of arc characteristics and penetration profiles. When used with mixed gas, the wire exhibits a smoother arc and reduced fume generation, while CO2 provides deep penetration and cost savings.

This wire is specifically developed to address common productivity bottlenecks. It features a fast-freezing slag system that supports out-of-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead, without sacrificing bead appearance. The slag is also self-peeling in many instances or requires minimal effort to remove, which drastically cuts down on inter-pass cleaning time. Furthermore, the low spatter levels ensure that the finished workpiece requires less grinding and cleanup, streamlining the entire fabrication process.

Ideal for industries ranging from railcar manufacturing to earth-moving equipment repair, the Dual Shield 7100 Ultra delivers consistent, high-quality welds with excellent radiographic integrity. Its ability to handle light rust and mill scale better than solid wires makes it a robust choice for real-world fabrication scenarios where surface preparation cannot always be perfect.
