S284912-025 - Hobart FabCO 71 .045 Flux-Cored Wire 15kg Spool

Master All-Position Welding with Hobart FabCO 71

If you are looking for a flux-cored wire that makes vertical and overhead welding feel as easy as flat welding, the Hobart FabCO 71 is your answer. This .045-inch wire is a favorite among professional welders for its "forgiving" nature and smooth runnability. Whether you are repairing heavy equipment, fabricating structural beams, or working on a barge, this wire gives you the control you need to lay down perfect beads every time.

The secret lies in its fast-freezing slag formula. It holds the puddle in place when you are fighting gravity, preventing the molten metal from dripping or sagging. Once you are done, the slag cools and often curls up on its own, meaning you spend less time chipping and grinding and more time burning wire. Plus, the low spatter levels mean your nozzles stay cleaner longer and your workpiece requires less finishing.

Flexibility is key in the shop, and the FabCO 71 delivers. You can run it on straight CO2 if you want to keep gas costs down and get maximum penetration, or switch to an Argon/CO2 mix for that buttery-smooth arc. The 15kg spool size is the standard for industrial wire feeders, giving you plenty of runtime between changeovers. This spool comes vacuum-sealed, guaranteeing that the wire is fresh and ready to perform the moment you crack the seal.
