OVERVIEW

Hobart FabCO 803: Superior Toughness and Weldability

Elevate your welding projects with the Hobart FabCO 803, a 1/16-inch flux-cored wire designed for superior performance on low-alloy and fine-grained steels. This wire is formulated to address the specific needs of welding 2% nickel steels, making it an essential consumable for projects involving offshore platforms, power generation facilities, and heavy earth-moving equipment. Its advanced flux composition ensures high impact strength at low temperatures, a critical factor for structures exposed to harsh climates.

The FabCO 803 is renowned for its excellent arc stability and ease of use. Welders benefit from a fast-freezing slag system that makes out-of-position welding easier and more controllable. This feature allows for high-quality welds in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Additionally, the low spatter generation helps maintain a clean work environment and reduces the time spent on grinding and finishing. The wire is compatible with both straight CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixed gases, allowing for flexibility depending on the specific welding procedure specification (WPS).

Packaged in a standard 33lb spool, this wire is ready for industrial use. It meets AWS classifications typically associated with high-strength, low-alloy applications (E81T1-Ni2C/Ni2M). By choosing Hobart FabCO 803, you are investing in a consumable that combines mechanical robustness with excellent welder appeal, ensuring both productivity and quality in your fabrication operations.
