E71T-1
AWS A5.20/A5.20M · FCAW-G · 70 ksi
E71T-1 is gas-shielded flux-cored wire — the high-deposition, all-position production workhorse for structural steel…
E71T-11
AWS A5.20/A5.20M · FCAW-S · 70 ksi
E71T-11 is self-shielded flux-cored wire — no gas bottle, runs DCEN, and works in wind, which makes it the standard…

Other materials
Carbon & Mild Steel
Electrodes and wires for carbon and mild steel — the 60 and 70 series stick rods, solid MIG wire and flux-cored wire that cover most structural and fabrication work.
Stainless Steel
Austenitic and martensitic stainless fillers — 308L, 309L, 316L, 347 and 410, in both covered electrode and bare wire form.
Aluminum
Aluminium fillers — the 4043 silicon and 5356 magnesium alloys that cover almost all aluminium welding, plus the legacy covered electrode.
