Up Topic Welding Industry / General Welding Discussion / Change to E71T-1M

We are thinking of going to a E71T-1M to help reduce the amount of handling in our structural fab shop. In an effort to keep things simple we would like to use this electrode classification for "all position" pjp fillet / groove welds and use that same electrode in another part of our operation where we do nothing but cjp groove welds varying in thickness from 1/4" to 1-1/2". Can anyone give me suggestions / recommendations.

Not sure what kind of recommendation your looking for.

Going to E71T-1M  from what? ...  Solid wire spray GMAW? ...  SMAW?...  E71T-1C

If your looking for a brand, I prefer ESAB 710X ......  .045 run with 75/25  Ar/C02  can reach 450 ipm vert-up and even higher feed rates horizontally.

Lawrence,

Its good to see you still prefer ESAB 710X from the time we launched the wire to the market. That was a good 4 years ago. I cant believe the time flew by so fast. We here at the Hanover facilty take pride in fabricating quality wire and myself being directly involved from start to finish, it's good to hear. :lol:

Lawrence - Have you tried 710X-M?  If you like 710X w/ c25, you might find you like 710X-M even more.  I have used both in .045" w/ C25 and I prefer the -M.  It runs well over a broad WFS range, and it seems particularly good at lower WFS.

Thanks, we are using E70T-1C now.
