Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71: Superior All-Position Welding

Elevate your welding projects with the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71, a 1/16-inch flux-cored wire that delivers professional results across a wide range of applications. Packaged in a substantial 50lb spool, this wire is built for endurance and efficiency, minimizing downtime for spool changes in busy workshops. Whether you are working on heavy machinery repairs or structural steel erection, the Excel-Arc 71 offers the reliability you need to get the job done right.

The defining feature of this wire is its exceptional all-position capability. Thanks to a specially formulated flux chemistry, the slag freezes rapidly, supporting the weld puddle against gravity. This makes vertical-up and overhead welding significantly easier, producing flat, professional-looking beads with less operator skill required compared to other wires. The arc is smooth and stable, providing excellent directional control and penetration into the base metal.

Spatter control is another area where the Excel-Arc 71 shines. Excessive spatter can ruin the finish of a workpiece and require hours of grinding to remove. Hobart has engineered this wire to produce low spatter levels, especially when used with Argon/CO2 gas mixtures. Even with 100% CO2, the transfer remains consistent and manageable. The resulting weld deposits exhibit excellent mechanical properties, including high impact toughness at lower temperatures, ensuring that your welds can withstand harsh operating environments.

Compatibility is key in modern welding environments. This wire is designed for Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity and works seamlessly with standard industrial wire feeders capable of handling 1/16" diameter consumables. It is an ideal choice for fabricating mild steel components in agriculture, mining, and railcar industries. By choosing Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71, you are investing in a product that balances ease of use with industrial-grade performance, ensuring strong, clean, and durable welds every time.
