S248239-002 - Hobart FabCO 73 7/64" Flux-Cored Wire, 60 lb Coil

Conquer Rust and Scale with Hobart FabCO 73

When you are up against dirty steel, rust, or heavy mill scale, you need a wire that doesn't just survive—it thrives. The Hobart FabCO 73 7/64" flux-cored wire is your go-to solution for single-pass welding on less-than-perfect surfaces. Forget about spending hours grinding every inch of material down to bare metal; the aggressive de-oxidizers in this wire scavenge impurities effectively, preventing porosity and ensuring a solid, sound weld every time. It is the heavy-hitter you want in your feeder when productivity counts.

The FabCO 73 is built for speed and deposition. Running on 100% CO2, it digs deep and lays down metal fast, making it perfect for long, heavy fillet welds on structural beams, heavy equipment frames, and ship hulls. The arc is smooth and consistent, giving you excellent control over the puddle in flat and horizontal positions. You will appreciate the way the bead washes into the toes of the weld, leaving a professional finish that requires minimal post-weld cleanup. The slag coverage is complete but easy to remove, revealing a bright, smooth bead underneath.

This 60 lb coil ensures you have plenty of runtime between changeovers, keeping your arc on time high. Please note that this wire is engineered specifically for single-pass applications; its chemistry is tuned to maximize speed and cleaning action in one go, rather than stacking multiple layers. If your shop handles heavy fabrication, railcar repairs, or general construction where surface prep time is money, the Hobart FabCO 73 is the efficiency booster you have been looking for.
