S247112-023 - Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 0.045 Flux-Cored Wire 15kg Spool

High-Performance Welding with Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71

Elevate your welding projects with the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71, a top-tier flux-cored wire engineered for mild and low-alloy steel applications. This 0.045" wire is a staple for professional fabricators who demand reliability and ease of use. The Excel-Arc 71 is a gas-shielded wire (FCAW-G) that excels in all positions, providing a flat, well-washed bead shape even in difficult vertical-up welds. Its formulation ensures a smooth spray-type transfer with minimal spatter, keeping your workpiece clean and reducing grinding time.

Versatility is at the core of the Excel-Arc 71's design. It is fully compatible with both 100% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Argon/CO2 mixtures. This adaptability allows welders to optimize their process based on available gas or specific joint requirements. The wire produces a fast-freezing rutile slag that supports the weld puddle against gravity, making it exceptionally user-friendly for out-of-position work. Furthermore, the slag release is excellent, often self-peeling, which reveals a bright, clean weld face underneath.

Mechanically, the Fabco Excel-Arc 71 is built to perform. It delivers high tensile strength and reliable impact toughness, meeting AWS E71T-1 and E71T-9 specifications. This makes it a trusted choice for critical applications in heavy equipment repair, structural steel erection, and offshore fabrication. The wire is designed to handle single and multiple pass applications effectively, ensuring strong fusion and defect-free welds.

This product comes on a standard 15kg spool, ready to load into your wire feeder for long welding sessions. Whether you are fabricating heavy machinery parts or welding structural beams, the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 provides the consistency and quality professional welders expect from the Hobart brand. Optimize your deposition rates and weld quality with this premium flux-cored option.
