S248812-029 - Hobart Fabco 711M .045 Flux-Cored Wire 33lb Spool

High-Performance Hobart Fabco 711M .045" Flux-Cored Wire

Take your welding performance to the next level with the Hobart Fabco 711M .045" flux-cored wire. This wire is specifically engineered for welders who demand a stiff, driving arc that digs deep. Unlike softer arc wires, the Fabco 711M provides the penetration necessary to ensure solid fusion into the base metal, making it an excellent choice for heavy-duty structural applications and critical code work. It meets AWS E71T-1 classifications and is suitable for use on mild and medium tensile steels.

The Fabco 711M excels in out-of-position welding. Thanks to its fast-freezing slag chemistry, the weld puddle stays where you put it, allowing for high-deposition rates even in vertical-up and overhead positions. This makes it a favorite among shipbuilders and railcar fabricators who often weld large assemblies that cannot be positioned flat. The slag is also generally easy to remove, reducing post-weld cleanup time and helping you move to the next pass faster.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Stiff Arc Characteristic: Provides the drive needed for deep penetration on thick plate.
• Gas Versatility: Optimized for use with either 100% CO2 or 75% Argon/25% CO2 mixes, allowing you to balance cost and arc performance.
• Mechanical Properties: Delivers consistent impact toughness, ensuring welds can withstand stress and service loads.
• Operator Appeal: Smooth feeding and low spatter levels reduce operator fatigue and cleanup.

This 33lb spool is designed to fit standard wire feeders found in most industrial shops. Whether you are repairing heavy earth-moving equipment or fabricating structural beams, the Hobart Fabco 711M delivers the reliability and bead appearance professional welders expect. Its ability to handle single and multiple pass welds with ease makes it a versatile addition to any welding operation's inventory.
