E71T-1, its a gas shielded all-position fast-freeze electrode. You may amaze your self with your newfound vertical up and upside down welding prowess.
Alloy rods was the leader in this field, but I think Esab bought them out.
They may be called 'all-position' , but they are not the best choice for flat & horizontal welds.
You will need to increase your stickout if you choose to run this wire .
The following may help for solid wires;
Overhead welding is one place were 'weaves' or small occilations will help when trying to use solid wires like an L-50 or L-56, because it will help spread & cool your puddle. You should also experiment with the opposite of what you might expect- turn your wfs up and move...faster than normal. Run the lowest voltage that will support your arc- this will keep a tight arc length and help the arc force defy gravity.
When your arc length is too long (voltage too high is one factor) your wire will make a larger glob as it melts off and have to cross a greater distance to get to the puddle- two things which assist gravity in reminding you of its presence.
