DESCRIPTION
BESTOP FC 71T is a flux cored, gas shielded, allposition electrode intended to weld carbon steel, as well as certain low alloy steels, where a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi is required.
BESTOP FC 71T is intended for single and multiple pass welding using 100% CO2 or 75-80% Argon/balance CO2 mixtures, for welding in all positions. Major advantages of this electrode include deep penetration, smooth stable arc transfer, low spatter levels and a slag system specially formulated for a high melting point. This provides a very quick-freezing slag.
CHARACTERISTICS
PRODUCT FEATURES:
• Flat bead geometry
• Easy slag removal
• Excellent feedability
• Smooth arc transfer
• Excellent mechanical properties
MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGES:
• Patented forming, feeding and drawing equipment
• Consistent strip-to-core ratio
• Precise thermal treatment that controls the type,amount and uniformity of surface oxides on the wire
• Consistent diffusible hydrogen levels
APPLICATIONS
BESTOP FC 71T can be used for welding most carbon steels and certain low alloy steels. It is ideal for welding gauges varying from 10-gauge sheet metal to heavy plate sections.
Some examples are:
• Structural Steel
• Heavy Equipment
• Railcar Construction
• Mining Machinery
• General Fabrication
SHIELDING GAS BLENDS
Typical Application Shielding Gas Blends:
• 75% Argon/25% CO2
• 100% CO2
• Flow Rate: 35-45 CFH
WELDING POSITIONS
All position welding is possible when using the correct Shielding gas blends, welding process and welding parameters.
STORAGE
Welding wire should be stored in a dry, enclosed environment and in its originally sealed package.
