S247115-023 - Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 0.052" Flux-Cored Wire, 15kg Spool

High-Performance E71T-1 Flux-Cored Wire for Professional Welders

Elevate your welding performance with the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71, a 0.052-inch gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered for superior arc stability and mechanical properties. This wire is the go-to solution for welders who demand precision and control, especially when working out of position. Classified as E71T-1C and E71T-1M, it provides robust mechanical strength and excellent impact toughness, making it suitable for critical structural applications where weld integrity is paramount.

The Excel-Arc 71 is renowned for its operator appeal. It features a smooth, spray-like transfer that remains stable even at lower parameters, which helps in bridging gaps and managing fit-up issues. The rutile-based slag system is fast-freezing, providing the necessary support for vertical-up welds while peeling off easily—often by itself—to reveal a clean, convex bead profile. This characteristic significantly reduces the risk of slag inclusions and ensures that multi-pass welds are solid and defect-free. Whether you are welding thick plate in a shipyard or repairing heavy earth-moving machinery, this wire gives you the confidence to lay down perfect beads every time.

Flexibility in shielding gas selection is another major advantage of the Fabco Excel-Arc 71. It performs exceptionally well with 100% CO2, offering deep penetration and cost savings, but also runs smoothly with a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mix for a smoother arc and reduced fume rates. The wire's formulation is designed to maintain high impact values at low temperatures (down to -40°F/-40°C), ensuring that your welds meet stringent code requirements for toughness. With a 15 kg spool, you have ample material for extended runs, reducing changeover frequency and keeping your arc on time high.
