When your project involves welding high-strength steel that simply cannot fail, Hobart Fabco 115 is the wire you reach for. This 1/16-inch flux-cored wire is built for the toughest jobs in the industry, from repairing massive earthmoving equipment to fabricating crane booms and structural supports. If you are working with "T-1" steel or other quenched and tempered alloys, this wire provides the strength and durability needed to match the base metal.
The Fabco 115 uses a special "basic" flux formula. While this means it runs best in flat and horizontal positions, the payoff is incredible weld quality. It produces welds that are extremely resistant to cracking and can withstand heavy impacts, even in freezing cold weather. This makes it a favorite for outdoor construction equipment and mining machinery that takes a beating daily. The bead profile is smooth, and the slag, while different from standard all-position wires, covers a dense, clean weld deposit that passes X-ray testing with ease.
You can run this wire with straight CO2 for deep penetration and cost savings, or use a Mixed Gas (75/25) for a smoother arc and less spatter. The 60lb coil size is perfect for shop environments where changing out small spools kills productivity. It fits standard industrial wire feeders equipped for coils.
Don't compromise on structural integrity. When the specs call for 110ksi tensile strength and superior toughness, Fabco 115 delivers the professional results required for heavy manufacturing and repair. It ensures that your welds are as tough as the steel they join, giving you peace of mind on critical fabrications.
