What is an example of a self-shielding FCAW wire?

  1. E71T-11-H4

  2. E7018

  3. E6013

  4. E71T-9MJ-H4

The correct answer is: E71T-11-H4

An example of a self-shielding FCAW wire is E71T-11-H4. This type of wire is designed to provide shielding gas protection during welding without the need for an external gas cylinder. It is typically used in outdoor or windy environments where a traditional gas shielded FCAW wire would be difficult to use. The other options, B E7018, C: E6013, and D: E71T-9MJ-H4, are not self-shielding FCAW wires. E7018 is an electrode for SMAW (shielded metal arc welding), E6013 is an electrode for SMAW or GMAW (gas metal arc welding), and E71T-9MJ-H4 is a gas-shielded FCAW wire.
