Forney 42303 is a self-shielded, flux core MIG welding wire designed for mild steel applications. This E71T-GS wire is a self-shielded all-position flux cored MIG welding wire that delivers clean, efficient welds with minimal spatter and easy slag removal.
The .035-inch diameter wire is well-suited to single-pass applications with high travel speed on light-gauge mild steel. Although no gas is required, an Argon/CO2 mix will reduce spatter. A 10-pound spool provides ample material for multiple jobs.
