Introduction
Welders who take on large and demanding projects know that the right filler wire makes a big difference. PGN’s E71T-1C flux core welding wire delivers the strength, speed, and dependability required in structural work, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair.
This new product is available in .035″ and .045″ diameters, with 10 lb and 33 lb spools. It combines durability with usability, giving professionals a wire they can trust for both shop and field applications.
What is E71T-1C Flux Core Wire and Why Use It?
E71T-1C is a gas-shielded flux cored arc welding (FCAW) wire made for all-position welding. Unlike solid MIG wires, it creates welds with deeper penetration and higher deposition rates. As a result, welders can complete projects faster while maintaining strong, clean joints.
In addition, PGN’s E71T-1C provides:
- A stable arc for consistent performance.
- Smooth bead appearance with minimal cleanup.
- Strong welds that hold up under stress.
- Easy usability for both professionals and advanced hobbyists.
Where to Use PGN’s E71T-1C Wire
Structural Welding and Construction
The wire is reliable for beams, bridges, and columns, offering the toughness needed for load-bearing projects.
Shipbuilding and Offshore Fabrication
It performs well in marine environments, giving welders dependable welds under harsh conditions.
Heavy Equipment Repair
From bulldozers to cranes, this wire produces welds that withstand heavy use and wear.
Fabrication Shops
Because it deposits quickly and cleans up easily, it helps busy shops improve productivity.
Usability: Practical for Welders at Every Level
PGN designed the E71T-1C wire with ease of use in mind. For that reason, it is practical in both small jobs and high-volume production.
- Spool options: 10 lb for mobile jobs or smaller repairs; 33 lb for extended shop runs.
- All-position performance: welds confidently whether the joint is flat, vertical, or overhead.
- Gas flexibility: works with 100% CO₂ or argon/CO₂ blends.
- Smooth feeding: reduces interruptions, creating a steady workflow.
Therefore, welders can spend more time focusing on their technique and less time troubleshooting equipment.
Common Risks and How to Avoid Them
Even high-quality wires require proper handling. Without correct settings and preparation, welders may face issues such as:
- Excessive spatter from poor parameter control.
- Porosity caused by weak shielding gas coverage.
- Slag inclusions when passes are not cleaned.
- Undercutting due to incorrect travel speed or angle.
By adjusting voltage and wire feed speed, ensuring gas coverage, and cleaning between passes, welders can prevent these problems and achieve strong, reliable welds.
Best Practices for Welding with E71T-1C Flux Core Wire
- Clean the base metal before starting.
- Keep a stick-out of ¾–1 inch for better arc control.
- Use stringer beads instead of wide weaving.
- Control interpass temperature to protect weld strength.
- Match spool size to the scale of the job.
These practices allow welders to take full advantage of the wire’s design.
Why Choose PGN’s E71T-1C Flux Core Wire
