Lincoln Electric ED016354 Mig Welding Wire 0.035 in 10 Lb

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC ED016354 is a flux-cored MIG welding wire rated to AWS specification E71T-11, designed for self-shielded, all-position welding without an external shielding gas. Supplied on a 10-pound spool at 0.035 inches diameter, this wire suits structural tack work, general fabrication, and maintenance welding on mild and low-alloy steels. Its E71T-11 classification indicates an all-position capable, single-pass and limited multi-pass electrode that runs on DC electrode negative (DCEN) polarity. Licensed welders, fabricators, and maintenance techs working in field conditions or shops without gas infrastructure will find this wire a reliable consumable for standard carbon steel joints.

This wire is suited for flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead weld positions on mild steel and low-alloy steel base materials. The self-shielded formula makes it practical for outdoor or field repair work where wind or lack of gas supply would compromise a gas-shielded process. Typical applications include structural steel fabrication, farm and construction equipment repair, and general metal maintenance work. The 10-pound spool size fits standard industrial wire feeders commonly used in shop and field settings.

Key Features

• AWS classified E71T-11 and E71T11-AZ-CS3 for verified all-position performance
• Self-shielded flux-cored design — no external shielding gas required
• 0.035 inch diameter for moderate deposition rates on thin to medium gauge steel
• 10-pound spool minimizes changeover frequency on production or repair jobs
• Suited for single-pass and limited multi-pass applications on mild and low-alloy steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification flux-cored welding wire for use with standard MIG wire feeders and welding machines capable of running self-shielded FCAW electrodes at 0.035 inch diameter on DC electrode negative polarity.

Installation Notes

Installation of this wire spool should be performed by a qualified welder or welding technician. Ensure the welding machine is powered off and the wire feeder is unloaded before swapping spools. Verify the drive roll size and feeder tension are set for 0.035 inch flux-cored wire before threading. Run DCEN polarity as required by the E71T-11 classification — confirm polarity at the machine before striking an arc.
