Hobart E71T-GS Flux-Cored Wire
This Hobart E71T-GS flux-cored welding wire is designed for carbon steel fabrication and repair. The self-shielded process eliminates the need for external shielding gas, making it practical for outdoor or field work. It comes on a 10 lb plastic spool with a 0.030 in wire diameter. The wire carries an AWS E71T-GS classification for DCEN polarity.
Upgrade from solid wire with gas
Switching from solid MIG wire and a gas cylinder to this self-shielded wire removes the hassle of gas handling and wind sensitivity. The jump is worth it when portability matters or when welding in breezy conditions where gas coverage fails. It deposits weld metal with a 70 ksi tensile strength on carbon steel joints.
Suits mobile repair and structural work
This wire suits welders who need a gasless solution for carbon steel to carbon steel joints in maintenance, construction or farm repair. It is not for buyers who require the cleaner bead appearance of gas-shielded processes or who need to weld materials other than carbon steel. The spool weight and diameter fit standard feeders for this wire class.

Questions about this item
What size contact tip and drive rolls do I need for the 0.030 in diameter wire?
Use a 0.030 in contact tip and matching drive rolls; the wire diameter is 0.030 in and it feeds from a plastic spool.
Which polarity setting is required on my welder for this self-shielded flux-cored wire?
Set the machine to DCEN (direct current electrode negative); the specification lists the welding current designation as DCEN.
When should I replace the wire if the spool has been opened and stored?
Replace the wire if the flux core has absorbed moisture or the surface shows rust; the product is a carbon steel E71T-GS flux-cored wire on a 10 lb plastic spool.
