S282250-002 - Hobart SubCOR N1-S 5/32" Metal-Cored SAW Wire, 60lb Coil

Heavy-Duty Performance for Structural Fabrication

When your project demands deep penetration and high-speed deposition, the Hobart SubCOR N1-S 5/32" metal-cored wire is the tool for the job. Built for the submerged arc welding process, this wire is a workhorse for welders tackling heavy plate and structural steel. The "metal-cored" design means the wire is hollow and filled with metallic powders, which allows it to carry current more efficiently than a solid wire of the same size. For the operator, this translates to a smoother arc, faster burn-off, and the ability to lay down more metal in less time—perfect for those long, continuous seams found in bridge girders and ship panels.

The SubCOR N1-S isn't just about speed; it's about strength and reliability in the cold. The "Ni1" in its name stands for Nickel, an ingredient that keeps the weld metal tough even when the temperature drops. This makes it the go-to wire for outdoor structures, offshore rigs, and heavy equipment that operates in freezing climates. You can trust this wire to hold up under stress, with a tensile strength rated above 70,000 psi. It runs well on standard sub-arc equipment and pairs with various fluxes to give you the bead appearance and slag release you need.

This wire is supplied in a 60lb coil, designed to fit standard coil adapters on industrial wire feeders. The larger coil size means you spend less time swapping out consumables and more time welding. It is suitable for welding on a variety of steels, including fine-grain and weathering steels. If you are welding storage tanks or heavy structural components and need a wire that offers both high productivity and excellent mechanical properties, the Hobart SubCOR N1-S is a proven solution that helps you get the job done right.
