Flux Core Wire Welding Sheet Metal

Product overview lincoln electric inner shield 0 030 in.

Flux core wire welding sheet metal.

Recommended for maximum plate thicknesses in the range of 7 9 mm 5 16 in to 12 7 mm 1 2 in. It differs from flux core soldering and is ideal for heavy duty or industrial applications since the finished bond is much more secure. Flux core welding benefits. Blue demon e71t gs 035 flux core wire is a self shielded mild steel wire suitable for both carbon and manganese steels.

Flux core welding is typically used when welding thicker metals. Although gas metal arc welding gmaw with a solid mild steel wire is popular easy to use and effective for many applications it does have limitations and drawbacks. For many welding applications like vertical up welding flat welding welding over galvanized or welding hard to weld steels a flux cored wire can do it better and faster. It has low spatter for smooth performance and great weld appearance.

Nr211 flux cored welding wire is a versatile wire suitable for all position welding of light gauge or thin plate. Self shielded flux cored welding is a wire welding process in which a continuous hollow wire electrode is fed through the welding gun into the weld joint. This is essential when you re working on things like machine parts. A flux cored wire is optimized to obtain performance not possible with a solid wire.

Cold contactor safety feature keeps welding wire electrically cold until the gun trigger is pressed. It s good for jobs like sheet metal stitch welding or for filling gaps on pieces with poor fitment. Self shielded flux cored welding differs from mig welding in that it doesn t require an external shielding gas such as carbon dioxide or argon to protect the weld pool from. An arc forms at the tip of the wire and the heat from the arc melts the end of the flux core wire providing metal for your weld and gases to protect your weld from the surrounding air.

Welds up to 1 8 in. Plugs into household 115v 20 amp outlet. The flux core wire is fed through your flux core or mig welder depending on which you have and acts as the electrode. Picture of the mig process.

With easy slag removal it s well suited to multiple pass welding.
