S282243-002 - Hobart SubCOR N1-S 1/8 Inch Metal-Cored SAW Wire 60lb Coil

High-Performance Hobart SubCOR N1-S Metal-Cored SAW Wire

Elevate your submerged arc welding operations with the Hobart SubCOR N1-S, a 1/8-inch metal-cored electrode designed for high-strength applications. Unlike solid SAW wires, the composite metal-cored design of the N1-S facilitates a broader, more fluid weld pool and allows for higher amperage utilization without sacrificing arc stability. This results in exceptional deposition rates, allowing welders and operators to complete long, heavy joints more efficiently. The wire is engineered to meet AWS A5.23 Ni1 specifications, providing a low-alloy deposit enriched with nickel to enhance ductility and impact toughness, even in sub-zero service conditions.

The SubCOR N1-S is versatile enough to handle both single and multiple-pass welding procedures. It excels when joining non-alloyed and fine-grain structural steels, making it a go-to solution for the heavy equipment and offshore industries. The wire's formulation helps mitigate common SAW issues, promoting smooth tie-ins and easy slag removal when used with appropriate neutral or active fluxes. For welders working on weathering steels, this electrode provides the necessary strength and durability, although it is intended for applications without strict color-matching needs.

This 60lb coil format ensures you have ample material for extended runs, reducing the frequency of changeovers and keeping your arc on time high. The 1/8-inch diameter is a standard heavy-duty size, perfect for filling large bevels and fillet welds on thick structural plates. With a minimum tensile strength design of over 70 ksi, the weld deposits produced are robust and reliable. Whether you are welding ship panels or fabricating massive structural beams, the Hobart SubCOR N1-S delivers the consistency and performance professional welders demand.

Technical Benefits:

• Enhanced Deposition: Metal-cored construction outperforms solid wire in fill rate.
• Low-Temp Toughness: Ni1 chemistry ensures impact resistance in cold environments.
• Versatile Usage: Suitable for a wide range of structural and low-alloy steels.
• Process Efficiency: Supports high travel speeds for improved productivity.
