Take your welding projects to the next level with the Hobart Fabco 712M .045" Flux-Cored Wire. This wire is built for the professional welder who needs a reliable, all-position consumable that doesn't compromise on performance. If you are working on structural steel, heavy equipment repair, or marine fabrication, the Fabco 712M provides the smooth runnability and easy handling you need to produce defect-free welds efficiently.
The Fabco 712M is an E71T-1M / E71T-12M class wire, meaning it is optimized for use with mixed gas (75% Argon / 25% CO2). This gas mixture helps create a smoother arc with less spatter than traditional CO2-shielded wires, reducing your post-weld cleanup time. The slag system is designed to be easily removable, often peeling off by itself, which speeds up multi-pass welding operations. Its fast-freezing slag characteristics make it particularly user-friendly for out-of-position work, allowing you to lay down flat, consistent beads even when welding vertically up.
Durability and toughness are at the core of this wire's chemistry. It is formulated to deliver high impact values at temperatures as low as -40°F, ensuring that your welds can withstand extreme cold and high stress without failing. This makes it a go-to choice for outdoor construction and equipment that operates in freezing climates. Additionally, the wire is capable of retaining these mechanical properties even after stress-relieving heat treatments, giving you peace of mind for code-work that requires PWHT.
This product arrives in a 33 lb vacuum-packed spool. This premium packaging ensures that the wire you receive is factory-fresh and free from moisture contamination. Moisture is the enemy of flux-cored wire, leading to porosity and worm-tracking; Hobart's vacuum packing eliminates this variable, ensuring you get a perfect start every time you strike an arc. Upgrade your welding arsenal with a wire that works as hard as you do.
