Questions and Answers for Lincoln Electric .030 in. Innershield NR211-MP Flux-Core Welding Wire for Mild Steel (10 lb. Spool)

A:  No would not recommend for stainless to messy.

A:  You can, but I wouldn't certify it. If your stainless is 308L, 400L, i would use the proper Stainless steel spool.

A:  This is to only be used for Mild Steel. This will not weld Stainless Steel.

A:  No you cannot weld stainless steel with that wire

A:  Not a good idea. Mild steel wire is for mild steel. Stainless wire also takes specific shielding gas. If you are only using the flux core of the wire, you will most likely regret the decision to use this wire. It's not formulated for stainless.

A:  You can weld up to infinite thickness but it will be weak because the wire won't penetrate all the way and weld the full thickness of the steel.

A:  Big enough to weld 5.16 easy

A:  It's recommended 5/16. You can go thicker but more of a process. For a couple more passes and prepping your work space. Cleaning and preheating it. In my experience with HF 90

A:  Need bigger machine

A:  Not enough amps

A:  It can if you have a good machine and possibly make 2 passes. I’ve done it personally with no issues

A:  The rolls of wire will be side by side in the sales area, HOWEVER, one will say GAS and the other will not say gas.

A:  NO. This wire is designed to be used with an electric welder.

A:  No Flux core needs no gas

A:  Yes

A:  I would not do that.

A:  It will mess up the weld big time if you use gas. I have had personal experience with this and the weld gets all pitted up. If you want to use gas, get dual shield wire that has flux, but is formulated and recommended to use shielding gas as well.

A:  Gas is not needed if used with a flux core welder. Not sure if it would help or hurt the weld.

A:  75 argon/25 co2 no problem, but there is no need to.

A:  The view is a "stock" photo of welding wire. They cannot possibly take a photo of every variation.

A:  Maybe error Product is good I recommend Lincoln wire

A:  Yes, Mike

A:  You could use that gauge of wire for tack welds while assembling parts, but I (personally) would back it up with thicker beads from .035 to .045 wire or stick weld. Im hoping your equipment material is, at least, 10 gauge. .030 wire settings are going to be "too cold" for 10 gauge or thicker. Material needs to be thick enough to handle the stress and strain of weight plates, body movement, etc. Good luck!

A:  Depends on what you are meaning by Gym Equipment. A crack in a weight bench, yes.. To weld a rack to hold a ton of weights , I would not.

A:  You could. Make sure you have good amperage. It may take multiple passes but can be done.

A:  Use some scrap to adjust your speed and power setting and you should Be able to weld it just fine. As always, a good weld starts with good prep work!

A:  Yes

A:  No gas is used with this type of welding wire. It is flux-core, which basically means that it comes with an element at its core that acts as a shielding agent (in place of the gas).

A:  flux core does not use shielding gas

A:  Yes.

A:  Yes work perfect.

A:  Yes you can. I have used it and the manual tells you can on page 13. just remember to switch machine polarity and the welding tip

A:  The reel should fit ok, if your welder kit includes a reel adapter. It looks something like this picture below. Also available at Home Depot dot com.

A:  Yes
