71T-1 is a popular gas-shielded flux-cored welding wire (FCAW) for all-position welding of mild and carbon steels, known for its smooth arc, high deposition rate, easy slag removal, and excellent mechanical properties, especially low-temperature toughness, making it ideal for shipbuilding, heavy machinery, structural fabrication, and storage tanks using 100% CO2 shielding gas.
Key Characteristics & Classification
Type: Rutile-type flux-cored wire (FCAW) for gas-shielded welding (FCAW-G).
Shielding: Designed for 100%
shielding gas, though mix gases (Argon/CO2) can also be used.
