OVERVIEW

Premium Performance for Critical Welds

When your project demands the best in all-position performance and crack resistance, the Hobart FabCO 812-Ni1M .045" welding wire is the professional's choice. This 33lb spool of gas-shielded flux-cored wire is engineered to make your job easier while delivering X-ray quality results. If you are welding on offshore rigs, heavy pipe, or structural steel that needs to withstand cold temperatures, this wire provides the 1% Nickel alloy boost you need for superior toughness.

Why Welders Love It:
The FabCO 812-Ni1M is famous for its "operator appeal." It features a smooth, stable arc that runs beautifully with mixed gas (75/25). The slag system is fast-freezing, which means you can stack metal in the vertical-up position with confidence—no sagging or dripping. Plus, the slag peels off easily, often curling up on its own, which drastically reduces your cleanup time with a chipping hammer or wire wheel. Less spatter means less grinding and more time welding.

Reliability You Can Trust:
Cracking is a welder's nightmare, but this wire is formulated with very low hydrogen levels to minimize that risk, even on thick plate. It is versatile enough for single or multi-pass applications and holds its puddle well in overhead positions. The wire comes in a vacuum-packed spool, guaranteeing that it is free from moisture and ready to run perfectly the moment you open the package. Upgrade your welding game with a consumable that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

This wire is designed to be used with Mixed Gas, typically 75% Argon and 25% CO2.

Yes, the FabCO 812-Ni1M is an all-position wire, making it excellent for vertical-up and overhead welding due to its fast-freezing slag.

It typically meets AWS A5.29 classifications E81T1-Ni1M-JH4 and E81T1-M21A8-Ni1-H4.

The wire diameter is 0.045 inches.

Yes, it contains nominally 1% Nickel, which improves toughness at low temperatures.

This is a 33 lb (approx. 15 kg) spool.

Yes, it has a low hydrogen designation (H4), meaning it produces less than 4ml of diffusible hydrogen per 100g of weld metal.

This wire runs on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as DC+.
