Lincoln Outershield 71M .035 Flux-Core Wire 10lb Spool

Smooth Running Flux-Core for Professional Results

Upgrade your welding projects with the Lincoln Outershield 71M, a .035-inch flux-cored wire that brings industrial-grade performance to your shop. Packaged in a convenient 10 lb spool, this wire is perfect for welders who demand a smooth arc and professional bead appearance without the constant headache of spatter and feeding issues. Whether you are fabricating structural frames, repairing heavy equipment, or working on general mild steel projects, the Outershield 71M delivers a spray-like transfer that makes welding feel almost effortless.

Say Goodbye to Feeding Issues

We know that nothing kills productivity faster than a birdnest in the drive rolls. Lincoln Electric has addressed this by manufacturing the Outershield 71M with a rod-based process that gives the wire extra stiffness. This rigidity ensures it pushes through the liner smoothly, even when your gun cable is bent or twisted. You get a consistent wire feed speed that leads to a stable arc, allowing you to focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment.

Easy Restarts and Versatile Gas Options

One of the favorite features among welders using this wire is the "easy break-off." When you finish a weld, the wire end is crisp and brittle enough that you can snap it off with a gloved hand. You don't need to reach for your welpers every time you stop, making your tacking and stitching operations much faster. Additionally, this wire is dual-shield capable. You can run it on straight CO2 for deep penetration and lower operating costs, or switch to a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix for an even smoother arc and flatter bead profile. It handles all positions (except vertical down), giving you the freedom to tackle out-of-position joints with confidence.

Built for Toughness

Don't let the smooth arc fool you; this wire deposits incredibly tough metal. Rated for impact toughness down to -40°F, the welds you lay down are resistant to cracking and failure even in freezing conditions. It produces minimal spatter, meaning you spend less time grinding and chipping slag and more time welding. For a reliable, high-speed, and user-friendly flux-cored experience, the Outershield 71M is a top-tier choice.
