S247112-029 - Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71 .045 Flux-Core Wire 33lb Spool

Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71: Performance You Can Trust

Upgrade your welding projects with the Hobart FabCO® Excel-Arc™ 71, a versatile .045-inch flux-cored wire that delivers professional results across a wide range of applications. Whether you are working on heavy equipment repair, structural steel erection, or general fabrication, this wire is built to handle it all. Packaged in a convenient 33 lb spool, it is designed to keep you welding longer with fewer changeovers, maximizing your productivity in the shop or on the job site.

What sets the Excel-Arc 71 apart is its exceptional operator appeal. Welders often struggle with wires that are difficult to control in vertical or overhead positions, but this product features a fast-freezing slag that holds the puddle in place, making out-of-position welding much easier. It produces a smooth, stable arc with low spatter, meaning you spend less time grinding and cleaning up after the weld is done. The slag is also designed to peel off easily, revealing a clean, high-quality bead underneath. This wire replaces the previous S247108-029 model, offering the same reliability with modern manufacturing consistency.

Flexibility is key in a busy shop, and the Excel-Arc 71 delivers by working with both 100% CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixed gases. This allows you to tailor your setup based on the gas you have on hand or the specific requirements of the job. From shipbuilding to railcar construction, this wire provides the deep penetration and strong mechanical bonds needed for heavy-duty steel projects. Choose Hobart for a wire that combines ease of use with industrial-strength performance.
