Take your welding projects to the next level with the Hobart FabCO® Excel-Arc™ 71. This 1/16" flux-cored wire is a favorite among professional welders for its exceptional ease of use and reliable performance. Packaged in a convenient 33 lb spool, it is ready to tackle large fabrication jobs without frequent changeovers. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery or fabricating structural frames, this wire delivers the consistency and strength you need to get the job done right.
The Excel-Arc™ 71 is designed to be a true all-rounder. Its fast-freezing slag formula means you don't have to fight the puddle when welding out of position. Vertical-up and overhead welds become much more manageable, allowing for flatter beads and better tie-ins. The wire runs smoothly on both straight CO2 and Argon/CO2 blends, giving you the freedom to use the gas setup you already have or prefer. The arc is soft and stable, minimizing spatter and ensuring that your focus remains on the weld pool rather than cleaning up BBs afterwards.
Durability is key in heavy fabrication, and this wire delivers. It provides excellent impact toughness even at lower temperatures, ensuring that your welds hold up under stress. It is an excellent choice for general fabrication, agriculture equipment repair, and railcar maintenance. The easy slag removal is a huge time-saver, especially during multi-pass welding where cleaning between passes can slow down production. Upgrade your welding output with a wire that works as hard as you do.
