Blue Demon Gasless Flux Core wires E71T-GS and E71T-11

E71T-GS is a carbon steel, flux cored electrode for use without an external shielding gas. This electrode is intended for welding thin-gauge carbon steel, ranging from 3/16” to 22 gauge.
E71T-11 is a self-shielding flux cored wire used for welding carbon steels. Does not require a shielding gas and can be used in limited multi-pass welding operations.

Unnecessary music, the video would be far better by demo and speech of explanation of differences between both the wire types

[@bluedemonweld]

appreciate your feedback

[@rossfriedman6056]

And what volt and wire speed setting! Other than that those beads are beautiful 🙏👏

[@wvjeepguy8178]

I have used Blue Demon almost exclusively for the past few years after finding it for a low price on Amazon and reading the reviews.

[@robertskelton2576]

Was a good price until it almost doubled in the last year on Amazon.

[@massa-blasta]

too expensive

[@GraveyarDiscipl]

Do you guys make a chart for your wire? My welder doesn't have one and it would be nice if they're was a chart I could use for what voltage, wire speed for different thickness and types of steel.

[@angelaprater2679]

Looks good little more slag but in all nice shiny weld.

[@GotScout]

So, from readings... the -11 is general use and multipass... and the -GS is SINGLE PASS ONLY... WHY? If slag is wired off, will it not repuddle the weld? Does it not like to float the crap to the top? I generally use, and like, the Lincoln (e71T-ii) NR211 in .030... what are the Blue Demon prods/cons in comparo... other than price? Thanks.

[@bluedemonweld]

GS is rated as single pass. 11 is rated as 'limited' multipass meaning conditions need to be perfect. I can personally tell you they both work multi-pass and can be stacked. Both the Blue Demon and LE are the exact same AWS spec.

[@Fernybeme]

But why is it different? What makes -gs single pass and -11 multipass? If there is none then why does -gs exist?

[@Fernybeme]

Also what makes it not possible for multipass? Does the slag from the gs just contaminate the weld if you weld more on top?

[@SamFBM]

@@Fernybeme that was what i was thinking. mutli pass never hurt if you get slag off.

[@louisutsumi7798]

@@bluedemonweld as a follow-up, when you make multi-passes with GS, is the weld metal more brittle than a single pass of GS? I was under the impression that GS is single pass only because multi-passes of GS wire result in lower ductility and increased brittleness. Also, if your GS can be stacked with no ill effects, then why not label this wire as E71T-G (instead of -GS)?

[@milospopovic6978]

I cant see the difference between these wires…GS wire(general purpose Single pass) as we see you welded in several pass…Whats the stregnht of the weld with GS wire ?

70-95K

[@1mw4tch1ng]

I thought E71TGS was only one pass compared to E71T11 which is for multi-pass welding.

[@rbhe357]

That's my understanding as well. Couldn't stand to watch the video

[@bluedemonweld]

true but i have seen them both in multi-pass just fine as long as the weldor is decent. T-11 is a limited multi-pass wire. have to really remove 100% of slag btw passes.

[@rbhe357]

@@bluedemonweld That's generally incorrect. "GS" wire is not held to any welding standard. While it will weld, it is prone to developing cracks from repeated heating. ‘G’ means electrode polarity & characteristics are not specified in AWS A5.20 specification. ‘S’ means single pass welding only.

[@bluedemonweld]

@@rbhe357 I don't disagree, but i have simply seen it done without issue. neither is ideal for a multi-pass application. a wire like E70T-4 should be used.

[@thomasd9237]

I'm a beginner here. I actually wish there were some technical explanations & comparative analysis for using each type. I heard this is fantastic wire, but ditch the music & tell me why I should use your product. Thanks..

[@bluedemonweld]

sorry.. they are soooo close in flux chemistry it is almost impossible to tell the difference. technically T-11 is for 'limited multi-pass' but tbh i have seen them both used in multi-pass if the weldor is decent and all slag is removed between passes.

[@naturalmystic5098]

Switched from the normal wire to the blue demon stainless steel. Settings are much different from the normal wire.

[@naturalmystic5098]

I couldn't manage to make a normal wide puddle due to my limited time. I managed to get it to sizzle consistently with a higher wire speed(102) and slightly above normal heat on my Tooliom TL-135. Hope this helps with a head-start idea for those having trouble finding the settings to have it puddle properly. Anyone else with tips, I'm open ears.

[@dylanrutan100]

Does your E71T-11 wire run at approximately the same settings as E71T-GS? My mig welder doesn’t publish any recommended settings for E71T-11, only -GS

[@bluedemonweld]

yes

[@pxkdin4289]

Can just watch since my weld disgust me....can't even find perfect setting for 1mm steel weld🥲🥲🥲

[@PeakyBlinder]

Cant find e71t-11 in the uk anywhare,

[@bluedemonweld]

really??? seems strange. our UK dealer TEC Products LTD can get it for you

[@PeakyBlinder]

@@bluedemonweld thank you, I found some on Amazon with a 3 week delivery, But all e71t in the UK seems to be GS. I'll check out that company, thanks.

honestly almost identical. use the GS and save yourself $@@PeakyBlinder

yeah boi!

[@rossfriedman6056]

One thing these videos never show is the damn volt/wire speed settings 🤦‍♂️

[@rossfriedman6056]

But your beads are beautiful!! 🙏

[@bluedemonweld]

great point! will do next time

[@ChiNguyen-wf1qt]

The blue demon e71t-11 works better than gs

[@bluedemonweld]

but they are soooooo close! ;)

[@lylerm250]

Poor technique

[@bluedemonweld]

why is that?

[@Fishingarizona94]

I’ve heard about not using this technique. Not sure why. I’ve stopped using it. Amps not high enough my instructor told me that’s why, I used to use that technique.
