Forney 42301 Flux Core Mig Wire for DIY Users

The Forney 42301 e711-gs flux core MIG wire for mild steel is a self-shielded, mild steel, all-position flux-cored MIG welding wire. It is best suited for single-pass applications with high travel speed. The wire exhibits moderate to low spatter, and although no gas is required, an Argon/CO2 mix will reduce spatter. The wire is excellent for use on thin-gauge mild steel, and its pink color coding on the label makes it easy to identify.
