E70T-6 – A general-purpose, flat and horizontal position flux-cored wire with a high deposition rate.

It can also weld over aluminized surfaces, and falls into a “GS” specification of AWS code which puts it as a wire that’s more open to interpretation by the manufacturer, so you should always check for details.

E71T-GS – An all position, single-pass flux-cored wire for welding thing gauge galvanized or mild steel.Just look for these numbers on the package to verify which wire it is. Just like with the MIG wires above, their names below are AWS classifications, and brands can call them differently. But still, you should always remove as much mill scale and rust as possible.īelow are the most commonly used flux-cored wires and their AWS specifications. Thanks to the added compounds in the flux, the flux wire can handle more surface contaminants than solid MIG wires. Again, numbers will be slightly off from your machine because these are considered a default but it will be enough to save you some time in setting up your Flux Core welder.

Below we covered the most commonly used flux-cored wires and their purposes.įC wire thickness chart similar to the one above for MIG wires. Other wires will have a number of 1-12 here, and each determines what the wire is meant for. The GS here classifies the wire as any “new” wire on the market that doesn’t fit the 1-12 classification of AWS, so it’s more open to the manufacturer’s design.

GS – The last digit or letter presents the usability, performance, or any unique characteristics.

Number “1” means that the wire is for all position welding, while number “0” classifies it for welding flat and horizontal only.

1 – The third digit can either be 0 or 1.

7 – Minimal tensile strength multiplied by 10,000 PSI.

Numbers might be slightly off when setting up your welding machine but you will get the general fell after a few tries. This is a simple MIG welding wire thickness chart with some basic and generic values for every MIG welder. This is the most often used MIG wire for welding aluminum.

ER5356 – Aluminum MIG wire for all position non heat treatable alloys like 5XXX series when 40,000 PSI is not mandated.Most commonly used for welding 6XXX series of aluminum. An all-position wire used to weld heat treatable base alloys. ER4043 – MIG wire for aluminum welding.The letter L stands for the maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion. ER308, ER308L – Commonly used stainless steel MIG wire.It is used with 75/25 ar/CO2 or 100% CO2. Additionally, you can achieve faster travel speed with it and a flatter bead profile. These deoxidizers allow it to weld slightly dirtier metal, and provide better wetting of the puddle. ER70S-6 – This wire contains more deoxidizers than the ER70S-3.It contains silicon and manganese deoxidizers, and it’s typically used with a 75/25% argon/CO2 mix, but it can also be used with 100% CO2. ER70S-3 – The most commonly used general-purpose solid wire for welding mild steel.
