Description: AFM E71T-1 is an all position, flux cored mild steel wire designed to produce superior mechanical properties while using 100% CO2 shielding gas. It produces X-ray quality weld deposits that are flat to slightly convex and have a bright lustre. A soft stable arc, low spatter, and fast-freeze weld puddle make out-of-position welding possible.
Applications: AFM E71T-1 is commonly used for single and multiple pass welding on mild and low alloy steels. Used in welding storage vessels, piping, earth moving equipment, shipbuilding, and railroad cars.
