S234219-029 - Hobart FabTuf 960 Hardfacing Wire 1/16" 33lb Spool

Restore and Protect Your Heavy Equipment

When your heavy machinery is grinding against earth, rock, and gravel day in and day out, metal loss is inevitable. The Hobart FabTuf 960 is your solution to fighting back against wear and tear. This 1/16-inch hardfacing wire is designed specifically to extend the service life of your most abused parts, saving you thousands in replacement costs and downtime. Whether you are reinforcing bucket teeth on an excavator, resurfacing a conveyor system, or repairing dredge parts, this wire lays down a protective layer of steel that is significantly harder than the base metal.

Why Choose FabTuf 960?
The secret lies in its hardness. With a Rockwell C rating of 55-60, the weld deposit acts like a shield against abrasive materials. It is tough enough to handle the grinding action of sand and soil but resilient enough to take moderate impacts without shattering. This makes it an excellent all-around choice for earthmoving and mining equipment. Because it is a metal-cored wire used with CO2 gas, you get a smooth, fast-running arc that puts down a lot of metal quickly. This means you spend less time welding and more time getting your equipment back to work.

Application Tips
This wire is versatile. You can use it for a single pass to add a quick protective layer, or run multiple passes to build up severely worn areas. It runs best in the flat and horizontal positions, giving you control over the puddle to create smooth, even beads. The slag system is minimal, so you won't be chipping away for hours after you finish welding. Simply hook up your CO2 gas, set your feeder to DCEP, and start restoring your equipment to its peak performance. It is the smart investment for any shop maintaining heavy iron.
