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.
