Dual Shield.

[Shield Arc]

There has been a discussion over on Welding Web about welding pipe with dual shield. I didn't realize this was done. So I did a little reading, and came across a video that Jody made. They used Lincoln 71M dual shield. I didn't know dual shield came in .035". So I ordered a spool.
WOW! This stuff is childs play to run! I ran the flat at 23.0-volts, and 145-AMPS. The vertical up just for fun I ran it at the same settings. I'm very impressed with this wire!

And the wire has some pretty good specifications to it also! :thumbsup:
I think this wire would work great in the average home owners Mig welder.

That's my favorite wire I might buy a mig just to run it again

So far I have been very impressed with this Lincoln Mig. V350-Pro.

I'm fairly new to dual shield, but I really like it also!

I worked in a fab shop in the 1970s. We switched from Mig to all dual shield. I ran a lot of it then. When I went back into construction, in the early 1980s Lincoln came out with Innershield. Boy I ran tons of that stuff!
