525241025H - Hobart SubCOR SL 745 3/32" Metal-Cored SAW Wire, 55lb Coil

Maximize Your SAW Productivity with Hobart SubCOR

For professional welders and fabricators operating submerged arc systems, the Hobart SubCOR SL 745 offers a distinct advantage over standard solid wires. This 3/32-inch metal-cored wire is built to help you lay down more metal in less time. Because the wire is tubular and filled with metallic powders, the welding current travels primarily through the outer sheath. This creates a higher current density, which translates directly into faster wire melt-off and increased travel speeds. If you are welding long structural seams or heavy plate sections, switching to SubCOR SL 745 can help you finish the job faster without sacrificing weld quality.

The SubCOR SL 745 is known for its smooth running characteristics. When paired with the correct flux, it produces a stable arc and a flat, consistent bead profile that ties in smoothly at the toes. One of the biggest hassles in submerged arc welding is dealing with stubborn slag; this wire is formulated to assist in easy slag removal, often peeling off by itself or with minimal chipping. This means less time spent with a chipping hammer and wire wheel, and more time focused on arc-on productivity. The 55 lb coil size is manageable for loading onto wire feeders while providing enough material for substantial runs before a changeover is required.

Whether you are fabricating bridge girders, pressure vessels, or heavy earth-moving equipment, this wire provides the reliability you need. It handles well in both single-pass and multi-pass welds, offering good penetration and fusion. The 3/32" diameter is a versatile size, capable of handling high amperage for deep grooves or moderate settings for fill passes. Trust Hobart's expertise in cored wire technology to bring efficiency and quality to your submerged arc operations.
