- AWS: A5.20 : E-71T-GS
DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
- ZIKA Gas less Wire E71T-GS is an all-position, self-shielded flux-cored wire designed for single pass fillet and lap welding on galvanized or carbon steel as thin as 20 gauge, without burn-through.
- Gas less Wire E71T-GS is commonly used on small portable 110 volt welding machines, offering smooth arc action with very little spatter. Travel speed is fast, penetration is good and slag removal is easy.
- ZIKA Gas less Wire E71T-GS is most popular for the home workshop welder because it works so well on 110 volt machines and can be used on such thin gauge steel.
- Gas less Wire E71T-GS is used quite extensively in automobile body shops for door or body repairs and it is also used for sheet metal duct work on lap and butt joints.
- ZIKA Gas less Wire E71T-GS as with all self-shielded wires, does contain fluoride compounds, which require more attention to ventilation when being used to weld galvanized steel.
- The zinc oxide formed during welding should not be inhaled as it can cause metal fume fever.
- When welding indoors or in an enclosed area, be sure that the ventilation is adequate.
