S689319-078 - Hobart Fabco 316LT1-1/4 1/16" Stainless Flux-Core Wire 27.5lb

Superior Stainless Welding with Hobart Fabco

Take your stainless steel fabrication to the next level with the Hobart Fabco 316LT1-1/4 flux-cored wire. If you are welding 316 or 316L stainless steel and need to increase travel speeds without sacrificing quality, this 1/16-inch wire is your solution. Unlike solid MIG wires, the Fabco 316LT1-1/4 utilizes a specialized flux core that supports the weld puddle, allowing for higher deposition rates and better fusion. This means you can lay down more metal in less time, significantly boosting your shop's throughput on heavy-gauge projects.

One of the standout features of this wire is its operator appeal. Welders appreciate the smooth, stable arc that remains consistent even when using 100% CO2, a cost-effective shielding gas option. For an even smoother arc and reduced fume levels, you can switch to a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix without changing the wire. The slag coverage is complete but releases easily—often curling up on its own as the weld cools—leaving behind a bright, shiny bead that requires minimal grinding or brushing. This excellent bead appearance is crucial for stainless applications where aesthetics often matter as much as structural integrity.

Whether you are building chemical tanks, repairing food processing equipment, or fabricating marine components, the Hobart Fabco 316LT1-1/4 delivers professional results. The low carbon content ensures your welds remain resistant to corrosion over time, protecting the longevity of your work. Packaged in a 27.5 lb spool, this wire is ready for long runs, reducing downtime spent on changeovers. Trust Hobart's formulation to provide the consistency and performance professional welders demand for critical stainless steel jobs.
