MIG Wire ESAB Dual Shield 7100 Ultra 1.6mm — Flux-Cored Welding Wire
Premium All-Position Flux-Cored Wire for Mild Steel & High-Tensile Applications
The ESAB Dual Shield 7100 Ultra 1.6mm is a high-performance, gas-shielded flux-cored (FCAW) welding wire engineered for mild steel and 490N/mm² class high-tensile steel. Designed as a multi-purpose, all-position wire, it delivers a smooth, stable arc, excellent bead appearance, and reliable feedability — making it a trusted choice for professional fabricators, structural welders, and heavy industry applications.
Key Features
- All-Position Welding — Performs reliably in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions
- Dual Gas Compatibility — Runs on 100% CO2 or 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas mixtures, giving fabricators flexibility in gas selection
- Low Spatter & Easy Slag Removal — Minimizes post-weld cleanup time and boosts productivity
- Wide Operating Parameter Range — More forgiving than comparable wires, with reduced welding fume generation
- High Deposition Rates — FCAW can weld significantly faster than stick (SMAW) and standard solid-wire MIG, cutting production time
- Deep Penetration & Good Wetting — Produces clean, flat weld profiles with strong fusion into base metal
- Low Diffusible Hydrogen (H8) — Suitable for critical structural and seismic-rated welds
