Hobart Fabco 115 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire 60lb Coil

Heavy-Duty Performance for Tough Jobs

When you are repairing an excavator bucket, a crane boom, or a mining truck frame, standard welding wire just won't cut it. You need a consumable that matches the strength of the base metal. Enter the Hobart Fabco 115. This 1/16" flux-cored wire is the go-to choice for professional welders working with T-1 (A514) and other high-yield steels found in heavy earthmoving and mining equipment. It is built to handle extreme stress without cracking, giving you peace of mind that your repair will hold up under the heaviest loads.

Why Choose Fabco 115?
The secret lies in its "basic" flux core. Unlike standard general-purpose wires, Fabco 115 uses a special chemical formulation that acts like a purifier for your weld puddle. It pulls out impurities and keeps hydrogen levels incredibly low. Why does this matter? Because hydrogen is the enemy of high-strength steel, causing under-bead cracking that can lead to catastrophic failure. With Fabco 115, you get a clean, dense, and incredibly strong weld deposit that rivals the quality of stick welding with 11018 rods, but with the speed and efficiency of wire welding.

Operational Tips
This wire runs on DCEP polarity and can use either straight CO2 or a mixed gas. It is designed primarily for flat and horizontal fillet welds, which is perfect for the heavy plate work usually associated with these steel grades. The 60lb coil size is designed for industrial feeders, reducing the number of changeovers you have to make during a long shift. If you are fabricating or repairing heavy machinery that takes a beating, don't compromise with mild steel wire—upgrade to Hobart Fabco 115 for a weld that lasts.
