Hobart Fabco 105D2 3/32" Flux-Cored Wire, 60lb Coil

Heavy-Duty Repair and Fabrication Wire

When your project involves repairing manganese-moly castings or welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel, the Hobart Fabco 105D2 3/32" flux-cored wire is the consumable you need. This wire is built for strength, delivering a weld deposit capable of withstanding 100,000 psi of tensile stress. It is particularly valued in the heavy equipment and mining sectors for repairing cracked booms, frames, and casting defects where standard mild steel wires would fail. The 3/32" diameter is substantial, designed for laying down serious metal in flat and horizontal positions.

One of the standout features of the Fabco 105D2 is its basic slag formulation. Unlike standard general-purpose wires, a basic slag system acts as a powerful cleanser for the weld metal, scavenging impurities and ensuring a clean, low-hydrogen deposit. This is critical when welding on steels that are susceptible to cracking or when the part will undergo stress-relief heat treatment later. The wire runs on 100% CO2, which helps cut down on gas costs while ensuring the deep penetration needed for thick plate welding.

This 60lb coil format is designed for shop environments with heavy-duty feeders capable of handling coils. Welders will appreciate the consistency of the arc and the assurance that the weld metal will meet rigorous testing standards. Whether you are building new heavy machinery or performing critical repairs on components that must endure extreme loads, the Fabco 105D2 gives you the metallurgical confidence to get the job done right. It bridges the gap between standard flux-core usability and the high-performance mechanical properties usually reserved for stick electrodes.
