OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance with Hobart Fabco 115

When you are welding on massive earthmovers, mining shovels, or heavy structural cranes, standard welding wire simply won't cut it. You need a consumable that matches the strength of the base metal and provides the toughness to withstand extreme stress and impact. Enter the Hobart Fabco 115. This 3/32" flux-cored wire is the heavy hitter of the Hobart lineup, designed specifically for joining high-strength steels like T-1 and HY-100 without cracking. If your job involves repairing the boom of a crane or the bucket of a dragline, this is the wire you load into your feeder.

The Fabco 115 utilizes a basic slag system. For the experienced welder, this means the arc may not be as soft as a general-purpose mild steel wire, and the bead might have a more convex profile, but the payoff is inside the weld. This wire deposits metal that is incredibly resistant to cracking, even when welding on thick, restrained joints that generate massive internal stresses as they cool. It offers exceptional low-temperature impact properties, ensuring that your welds won't become brittle in freezing operating environments. It is a true structural wire for critical safety applications.

Supplied in a substantial 60lb coil, this product is ready for long runs and high-deposition welding. The 3/32" diameter is ideal for filling large grooves quickly in the flat and horizontal positions. While it is primarily designed for flat and horizontal fillets and grooves, its fast-freezing slag (relative to other basic wires) allows for manageable puddle control. Whether you are running straight CO2 for deep penetration or a mixed gas for a slightly smoother arc, the Fabco 115 delivers the reliability professional welders demand for their most critical projects.

Why Choose Fabco 115?

  • Crack Resistance: Specifically formulated to prevent cracking in high-strength alloys.
  • Toughness: High impact values ensure welds hold up under shock loading.
  • Productivity: Large diameter allows for rapid metal deposition on heavy plate.
  • Reliability: Consistent chemistry and low hydrogen levels for peace of mind.

FAQ

Hobart Fabco 115 is typically classified as E110T5-K4 per AWS A5.29 specifications.

This wire can be used with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon / 25% CO2.

No, as a T5 basic slag wire, it is recommended for use in the Flat and Horizontal positions only.

This product is 3/32 inch in diameter.

Basic slag wires provide superior impact toughness and crack resistance compared to rutile wires, making them essential for critical high-strength steel applications.

It is designed for quenched and tempered high-strength low-alloy steels such as A514 (T-1), A517, and HY-100.

This item comes as a 60lb Coil.

Yes, like all low-hydrogen consumables, it should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture pickup which can lead to hydrogen cracking.
