S669010-055 - Hobart SWX 160 Agglomerated Submerged Arc Welding Flux

Smooth Welds and Easy Cleanup with Hobart SWX 160

Take your submerged arc welding projects to the next level with the Hobart SWX 160 Sub Arc Flux. Sold in a convenient 50-pound bag, this flux is a favorite among professional welders and fabricators who demand consistency and ease of use. Submerged arc welding is all about efficiency and deposition rates, and the SWX 160 is formulated to keep your operation running smoothly. It creates a protective blanket over your weld pool, preventing atmospheric contamination while shaping a smooth, uniform bead that looks as good as it holds.

Nobody likes spending half their day chipping away stubborn slag. That’s why Hobart engineered the SWX 160 with excellent slag release properties. In many cases, the slag will lift off by itself as the weld cools, or require just a light tap to remove. This means you spend less time grinding and cleaning, and more time welding. It is particularly effective for fillet welds and butt welds on structural steel, where appearance and speed are paramount. The flux supports high-speed welding, helping you meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

This 50lb bag is the industry standard size, offering enough material for substantial runs while remaining manageable to lift and pour into your hopper. Whether you are welding heavy machinery, bridge girders, or pressure vessels, the Hobart SWX 160 provides the reliability you need. It pairs well with a variety of standard sub-arc wires, making it a versatile addition to any shop's inventory. Trust in the Hobart name for consumables that deliver professional results every time you strike an arc.
