E71T-11 Welding Wire Mechanical Properties
E71T-11 Welding Wire Mechanical Properties are given in the table below. E71T-11 has a tensile strength range of 70- 95 Ksi, a yield strength of a minimum of 58 Ksi.
The toughness requirements for the E71T-11 welding wire are not specified in AWS A5.20. Hence, it must be specified by the purchaser in case toughness requirements are applicable.
”7” is the tensile strength indicator multiplied by 10 is Ksi( here 70 Ksi minimum)
”1” stand for All welding positions.
”T” means Tubular flux cored welding wire
”11” is usability characteristics, here it is DCEN polarity, multipass weld, and self-shielded wire.
INNERSHIELD NR-211-MP
INNERSHIELD NR-211-MP is the Lincoln Welding wire brand name of the E71T-11 welding wire classification.
INNERSHIELD NR-211-MP welding wire specification is AWS A5.20. The wire is available in different welding diameters 0.030, 0.0350.045, and 0.068 inches.
E71T-11 Welding Wire Polarity
E71T-11 welding wire uses Straight Polarity (DCEN) i.e., Electrode Negative welding polarity. The wire does not provide good arc characteristics when used with DCEP or AC Polarity and hence these polarities should be avoided.
E71T-11 Welding Wire is a self-shielded cored wire which means it does not need an externally supplied welding shielding gas.
The necessary gases required to protect the weld pool are created by the burning of flux present in the welding wire covering.
E71T-11 Welding Wire Uses
E71T-11 Welding Wire is used for welding carbon steel, mild steel, and low alloy steel materials.
This wire can be used for single-pass welding and multi-pass welding applications. The wire is mainly suitable for welding in a field, structure, or working at height.
Due to its self-shielding properties, the welding using this wire is highly portable.
Material Welding is run by highly experienced welding engineers, welding trainers & ASNT NDT Level III bloggers.
We strive to provide most accurate and practical knowledge in welding, metallurgy, NDT and Engineering domains.
