Dual Shield 7100 Ultra is an all-position E71T-9 flux-cored welding wire developed for higher deposition rates and improved welding productivity. It is tested and certified to meet the new AWS A5.20 ‘D’ designation requirements, making this gas-shielded wire an excellent choice for demand critical welds when FEMA 353, D1.1 or D1.8 Seismic Supplement is utilized.
Like many other Dual Shield products, Dual Shield 7100 Ultra operates in a wider parameter range and generates less welding fumes than many similar welding wires. The low spatter levels and easy slag removal minimizes post weld cleanup. Dual Shield 7100 Ultra can be used with either 100% CO2 or 75% Ar/25% CO2. This versatility in gas selection provides the fabricator greater flexibility in choosing both wire and gas. Applications include railcar and earth moving equipment, as well as general structural steel fabrication.
