S289343-002 - Hobart SubCOR EM13K-S MOD 1/8" SAW Wire 60lb Coil

Boost Your SAW Productivity with Hobart SubCOR

Take your submerged arc welding to the next level with the Hobart SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD. This 1/8-inch composite electrode is built for welders who need speed, reliability, and superior penetration. If you are welding carbon steel and want to outperform standard solid wires, this metal-cored solution is the answer. By utilizing a composite design, Hobart has created a wire that mimics the chemistry of EM13K solid wire but delivers the performance advantages of a cored product, specifically higher deposition rates and a wider penetration profile.

When you are welding thick plates for heavy equipment, storage tanks, or structural beams, heat input is a major factor. The SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD is specially formulated to handle high heat inputs without losing its mechanical strength. This means you can crank up the parameters to get the job done faster while still meeting code requirements. The broader penetration profile is a huge plus for ensuring you get solid fusion at the root and sidewalls, reducing the risk of defects in critical welds. It performs exceptionally well in both single-pass and multi-pass applications, giving you versatility across different projects.

Supplied in a 60 lb coil, this wire is ready for serious production work. It feeds smoothly and pairs with standard fluxes recommended for carbon steel SAW. Whether you are fabricating railcar frames, welding ship panels, or joining pipe, the SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD helps you lay down more metal in less time. Upgrade your sub-arc setup with a wire designed for modern fabrication challenges.

Performance Benefits

• Faster Welding: Higher deposition rates compared to solid wires mean you finish long welds sooner.
• Better Fusion: Broader penetration profile helps prevent lack-of-fusion defects.
• High Heat Tolerance: Maintains strength and toughness even when welding hot and fast.
• Versatile Use: Excellent for everything from general fab to critical pressure vessel work.
