S289350-008 - Hobart SubCOR EM13K-S MOD 5/32" Composite SAW Wire 600lb Drum

Maximize Deposition with SubCOR™ Metal-Cored SAW Wire

Take your submerged arc welding operations to the next level with the Hobart SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD. This 5/32-inch wire comes in a bulk 600 lb drum, ready to tackle the biggest jobs in your shop. As a composite (metal-cored) electrode, it offers distinct advantages over standard solid wires, primarily in its ability to lay down metal faster. If your production line handles heavy plate steel and requires deep, consistent penetration, this wire is formulated to deliver superior results at comparable amperages.

The SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD is built for the heat. It is specially engineered to retain excellent mechanical properties even under high heat input conditions, which allows welders to push their parameters for maximum efficiency. The resulting weld deposit meets the chemical composition requirements of an EM13K solid wire (AWS A5.17 EC1), giving you the best of both worlds: the speed of a cored wire with the industry-standard chemistry of a solid wire. This makes it a go-to choice for structural components, bridge fabrication, and heavy machinery manufacturing.

Welders will appreciate the broader penetration profile this wire provides. A wider penetration finger means a larger margin of error against fusion defects, ensuring that your root passes and fill passes are solid and secure. This characteristic is particularly beneficial when welding thick sections found in wind towers, ship panels, and pipe double jointing. The wire runs smoothly with recommended fluxes, producing a stable arc and easy-to-remove slag, which reduces post-weld cleanup time.

Designed for both single and multiple-pass welding, the SubCOR™ EM13K-S MOD is versatile enough for a wide range of carbon steel applications. From fabricating wheel assemblies to constructing massive storage tanks and boilers, this wire provides the consistency needed for code-quality work. The bulk drum packaging minimizes downtime spent changing spools, keeping your arc on and your project moving forward.
