Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LINCOLN ELECTRIC from 3G Electric.
What types of Lincoln Electric flux-cored wires are available through 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks Lincoln Electric flux-cored wires such as the UltraCore HD-12C (E71T-12C, 0.052 in, 33 lb) and UltraCore 712A80 (E71T-12M, 1/16 in, 50 lb). These wires are designed for carbon steel general fabrication, with tensile strengths ranging from 82 ksi to 88 ksi. They are suitable for single- or multiple-pass welding and are available in different diameters and package sizes to match specific application needs.
What are the specifications of the Lincoln Electric ER70S-3 MIG welding wire supplied by 3G Electric?
The Lincoln Electric ER70S-3 MIG welding wire (MPN ED021269) is a carbon steel wire with a 0.035 in diameter, supplied on a 60 lb fiber spool. Its as-welded yield strength ranges from 60 ksi to 65 ksi, and tensile strength from 75 ksi to 79 ksi. This wire is commonly used for general fabrication and is compatible with standard MIG welding equipment.
Which Lincoln Electric stick electrodes are available for all-position welding with AC power?
3G Electric offers the Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 180 stick electrode (E6011, MPN ED010114), which is a carbon steel electrode measuring 5/32 in x 14 in in a 50 lb package. It is designed for all-position welding using AC power, with as-welded yield strength of 67 ksi to 71 ksi and tensile strength of 83 ksi to 86 ksi. This electrode is suitable for welding on galvanized, painted, or dirty steel.
What is the purpose of the Lincoln Electric gas lens (45V44) and what are its specifications?
The Lincoln Electric gas lens (Reference Number 45V44, MPN KP4753-332) is designed for a maximum electrode diameter of 3/32 in. It improves gas coverage during TIG welding by reducing turbulence, which helps produce cleaner welds with less oxidation. This component is compatible with standard TIG torches and is used in applications requiring precise gas shielding.
What hardfacing electrode does 3G Electric supply from Lincoln Electric for severe abrasion resistance?
3G Electric supplies the Lincoln Electric Wearshield ME hardfacing stick electrode (MPN ED023323), which is 1/8 in x 14 in in a 10 lb package. It operates on AC or DCEP current and achieves a maximum Rockwell hardness of 55 HRC as welded. This electrode is designed for severe abrasion resistance, making it suitable for applications like earthmoving equipment, crushers, and conveyor components.
What are the key specifications of the Lincoln Electric Flextec 500X multiprocess welder available from 3G Electric?
The Lincoln Electric Flextec 500X (MPN K3608-2) is a DC multiprocess welder with a maximum amperage of 500 A for both stick and TIG processes. It is supplied as a MIG pack with an LF-74 wire feeder and operates on a nominal input voltage of 460V. This unit is designed for industrial applications requiring flexibility across multiple welding processes.
