DUAL SHIELD 7100 LC

Dual Shield 7100 LC is an all-position flux-cored wire for general
purpose welding. 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.

Features

Dual Shield 7100 LC provides outstanding operator appeal with its easily controlled arc, improved operation at lower current levels, minimal spatter and easily removed slag. Dual Shield 7100 LC can be used with CO2 or 75% Ar – 25% CO2 shielding, however pure CO2 is recommended in applications where restraint is high.
