Mig wire identification

Rooting around my local scrappy this morning i found this large reel of wire..its mild steel but i dont know its application. Anybody ???

Standard rutile flux cored.

These wires comes in vac packs because the powder will draw humidity.

If it is a closed wire it maybe is ok.
Open or folded wire can result massive impurities.

@roofman you gonna give it a go?

I agree with Jan, there is good chance the flux has absorbed moisture, a recipe for worm tracks, worm holes and other porosity.

That's probably why it is there.

Dont think my SAF 165C would be up to the job mate...might spool a bit through this coming weekend to see how it burns

I'd give it a blast Oxford 330i, over here.....

Always fancied trying some dual shield wire.

This is what you get when dealing with wire that contains moisture.
