S605939-065 - Hobart Tube-Alloy 258 TiC-O Hardfacing Wire 7/64" 250lb Drum

Maximum Wear Protection with Hobart Tube-Alloy 258 TiC-O

When your heavy equipment is up against the toughest rock, sand, and earth, you need a hardfacing wire that doesn't back down. The Hobart Tube-Alloy 258 TiC-O is built for exactly that. This isn't just standard hardfacing; it's a high-performance wire packed with titanium carbides. Think of it as adding a layer of armor to your bucket teeth, crusher rolls, and hammers. The 7/64" diameter allows for high deposition rates, helping you build up worn surfaces quickly and get your machinery back in the dirt where it belongs.

Welders appreciate the Tube-Alloy 258 TiC-O for its straightforward, self-shielded operation. You don't need to drag gas cylinders around the job site or worry about wind blowing away your shielding gas. It runs on an open arc, producing a solid, slag-covered bead that ties in smoothly. The 250lb Auto-Pak is perfect for shop setups or dedicated hardfacing stations, giving you a massive supply of wire for long runs without the interruption of swapping out small spools.

The resulting weld deposit is incredibly hard—hitting up to 62 HRC. Because it is so hard, it will stress-relieve itself with cross-checking (small cracks), which is exactly what you want to prevent the entire coating from peeling off under impact. It's designed for 1 to 2 layer applications; piling it too high isn't necessary or recommended. If you are repairing crushers, augers, or dozer blades that see extreme grinding and pounding, this Hobart wire is your go-to solution for a repair that lasts.

Why Welders Choose This Wire:

• No Gas Needed: hassle-free setup in the shop or field.
• High Deposition: Get the job done faster with 7/64" wire.
• Extreme Durability: Titanium carbides eat abrasion for breakfast.
• Bulk Supply: 250lb drum keeps you welding longer.
