OVERVIEW

Tough Wire for Tough Jobs

When your project involves high-strength steel that simply cannot fail, Hobart Fabco 95K2 is the wire you reach for. This 1/16-inch flux-cored wire is built for the heavy hitters—shipyards, offshore rigs, and heavy machinery repair. If you are welding steels like HY-80 or T-1 (A514), standard wires won't cut it. You need the extra tensile strength and crack resistance that Fabco 95K2 provides. Its basic slag system is the secret sauce, producing weld deposits that are incredibly tough and resistant to cracking, even when the temperature drops.

Welders will appreciate the peace of mind that comes with using a low-hydrogen wire. The Fabco 95K2 is engineered to keep hydrogen levels low, which is your best defense against under-bead cracking in thick, restrained joints. While basic slag wires can sometimes be tricky, Hobart has balanced this formula to offer a stable arc and manageable puddle control. You can run it with straight CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or switch to a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix for a smoother arc and reduced spatter. It handles out-of-position work reliably, so you aren't limited to flat welds.

This 33lb spool is designed for serious fabrication work. The 1/16-inch diameter means you can lay down metal fast, filling large bevels and heavy fillets efficiently. Whether you are repairing an excavator boom or fabricating structural beams for a bridge, the Fabco 95K2 gives you the confidence that your welds will hold up to the abuse. It’s the professional choice for critical welds where strength and safety are non-negotiable.

FAQ

You can use either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. Both provide excellent results, with the mix offering a slightly smoother arc.

This wire typically meets AWS A5.29 classifications E91T1-K2C-JH4 (with CO2) and E91T1-K2M-JH4 (with mixed gas).

Yes, Fabco 95K2 is specifically designed for welding high-strength steels like HY-80, ASTM A514, and other Q&T steels.

This specific product is 1/16 inch (approx. 1.6mm) in diameter.

Yes, like all low-hydrogen flux-cored wires, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent moisture pickup which can lead to porosity or hydrogen cracking.

It is designed to be used with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

Yes, Fabco 95K2 is an all-position wire, suitable for flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding.

This product comes on a 33 lb (approx. 15 kg) spool.
