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.
Does Welding Gas required for E71T-11 wire?
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.
