Description
Washington Alloy 71T-11 is a general purpose self-shielded flux-cored wire designed for all position, single-pass and limited multiple-pass lap, fillet and butt welds on mild or galvanized steed of less than ¾” thickness. (Do not use on steel plates thicker than ¾”). Washington Alloy 71T-11 is easy to use because it requires no shielding gas - no large gas cylinders to lug around. It has a very stable arc, low spatter and slag removal is easy.

Applications
Washington Alloy 71T-11 is commonly found being used in structural beams on outdoor construction projects, where adverse weather conditions hinder the flow of gas or where gas cylinders are not an option for logistical reason. 71T-11 is also used in the fabrication of machinery parts, tanks, prefab constructions and light structural frameworks.
NOTE: As with all self-shielded wires, Washington Alloy 71T-11 does contain fluoride compounds, which require more attention to ventilation when being used to weld galvanized steel. The zinc oxide formed during welding should no be inhaled as it can cause metal fume fever. When welding indoors or in an enclosed area, be sure that the ventilation is adequate.
