S280343-008 - Hobart SubCOR 120S 1/8-Inch SAW Wire 600lb Drum

Maximize Deposition with Hobart SubCOR 120S

Take your submerged arc welding to the next level with the Hobart SubCOR 120S. This 1/8-inch metal-cored wire is built for welders who need speed, strength, and reliability. If you are fabricating with high-strength steels like T-1 or HY-100, this wire is designed to deliver the mechanical properties you need—specifically targeting 120,000 psi tensile strength applications. The 600 lb drum packaging is perfect for shops running long seams or utilizing column and boom setups, ensuring you spend more time welding and less time swapping out spools.

The advantage of the SubCOR series lies in its metal-cored design. It offers a wider penetration profile and better wetting action compared to standard solid SAW wires. This means you get smoother tie-ins at the toes of the weld and a reduced chance of lack-of-fusion defects. Furthermore, the deposition rate is superior to solid wire equivalents, allowing you to fill joints faster and complete projects ahead of schedule. It pairs excellently with Hobart's specific SAW fluxes to create a slag system that releases easily, leaving a clean, professional bead appearance.

Welders Supply understands that consistency is key. The Hobart SubCOR 120S offers stable arc characteristics and consistent chemistry throughout the entire drum. This wire is an excellent solution for fabricating crane booms, heavy structural components, and pressure vessels where high strength and toughness are non-negotiable. Upgrade your SAW process with the efficiency of metal-cored technology.
