  1. What size is this spool 4" or 8"?

    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .030in., 2-Lb. Spool, Model# H222106-R19"

    1. This spool is 4 inches.

      Helpful?

    2. 2# spool is the smaller spool (Not as small as a 1#), so it will be the 4" (I didn't go out to my shop and measure the spool). The 10# spool is usually around 8"

      Helpful?

    3. This spool was the 2 pound 4" diameter spool.

      Helpful?

    4. 4 inch

      Helpful?

    5. This is a 4" spool.

      Helpful?

    6. The Hobart Flux Welding 2 pound spool is 4 inches in diameter.

  2. what thickness of metal can this be used on? Will it work for 1/16" metal?

    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .030in., 2-Lb. Spool, Model# H222106-R19"

    1. The Lincoln Electric roll lists the same wire (0.035) for up to 5/16, which is probably for a 140 amp machine. With 135 amp machines and 120v in general, single pass will be 1/4" and you will be better off limiting it to 3/16 for structural steel, in my experience of course.

      I have welded up 1/4" axle tubes from Northern Tools for trailers with 0.035 and it worked fine. Still using the axle after five years of tree work.

    2. For sheet metal and 1/16", adjust your machine down, run some trials at low amperage rates. Try pushing, and dragging, to see which has less penetration (usually pushing). Adjust your welding speed to keep the puddle small and avoid burn-through. The base metal needs to be clean. E71T-11 is an all position, multi-pass wire; it is meant to be used on a DC machine w/ Electrode negative. This wire should work just fine.

      Helpful?

    3. No problem with 1/16 thick steel. Other thickness will depend on your welder as much as the wire.

      Helpful?

    4. There is no minimum or maximum thickness of metal the wire can be used on. It would be depend on what your welding machine is rated for.

      Helpful?

  3. How long can you store flux core before it goes bad?

    Few months, years?

    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .035in., 2-Lb. Spool, Model# H222108-R19"

    1. Not sure how long but you need to keep it in low humidity environment. Try zip-loc bag.

      Helpful?

    2. It depends on the variables in which the item is stored. I never stored wire past a few years, but I believe one could store this wire for several years under the right conditions, e.g., temperature.

      Helpful?

    3. I'd say years. I still have some older flux core wire (I stocked up a few years back) that I just swapped a spool out for and it seems to work just fine.

      Helpful?

    4. Flux core wire will go bad after it rusts so it is not reccommended to purchase more wire than you need for a project.

      Helpful?

  4. Will this fit the Northern Tool Flux Core 125 Mig Welder I bought?

    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .030in., 10-Lb. Spool, Model# H222106-R22"

    1. Yes it will fit, the 125 accommodates both 4" & 8" spools

      Helpful?

    2. yes; that's what I used it on.

      Helpful?

    3. Yes it will fit up to an 8" spool

    4. The Hobart Flux Core Wire item # 1640946 can be used for our Northern Industrial 125 Flux Core Welder.

    1. Yes, Hobart Model# H222106-R22 is Flux-Cored Welding Wire from the Fabshield 21B line.

  6. Will this wire hold up to extreme high heat and cool applications for cattle brandin irons

    1. Per the manufacturer, there are too many variables to determine if this would work for your application.

      Helpful?

  7. will this product work in my hobart 140?

    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .035in., 5-Lb. Spool, Model# H222108-R20"

    1. This wire is compatible with the Hobart 140.

      Helpful?

  8. Is it self shielding??

    1 answer
    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .030in., 2-Lb. Spool, Model# H222106-R19"

    1. This spool of flux-cored welding wire is self-shielding and does not require external shielding gas.

      Helpful?

  9. I believe the description of this wire is wrong. Should it not be 70,000 psi tensile strength rather than 71? As according to the AWS this would be E=electrode use only, 70,000 psi tensile strength as welded,7; 1=all position 0=flat only; t=tubular.

    1. This welding wire would have a minimum of 70.000 PSI tensile strength.

  10. Will this fit the Holbart handler 125. Model number 500573

    1 answer
    Originally posted on "Hobart Flux-Cored Welding Wire, E71T-11 Carbon Steel, .030in., 5-Lb. Spool, Model# H222106-R20"

    1. The flux-cored 0.030 welding wire can be used with the Hobart Handler 125, model 500573, item 84999. It can use 0.030 to 0.035 flux-cored welding wire.
