OVERVIEW

Smooth Running Flux-Core for Dirty Steel

If you are burning wire on heavy structural steel, railcars, or yellow iron, you know that surface prep isn't always perfect. That's where Hobart Fabco RXR shines. This 3/32" flux-cored wire is built to eat through mill scale and rust without sputtering or causing porosity. It runs on straight CO2, giving you that deep, digging penetration you need for heavy fillets and groove welds, while keeping your gas costs down. The arc is aggressive yet stable, giving you the confidence to push your travel speeds up without losing bead profile.

One of the biggest headaches in heavy flux-core welding is slag removal. Fabco RXR is formulated with a slag system that cools quickly and releases easily—often curling up and popping off on its own. This means less time chipping and hammering, and more time welding. Because it is an E70T-1 class wire, it is designed strictly for flat and horizontal welds, allowing the puddle to wet out smoothly at the toes, reducing stress concentrations and making your welds look professional with minimal effort.

This 250 lb drum package is perfect for welders who are tired of swapping out 33lb or 60lb coils every few hours. It feeds smoothly through conduit systems, ensuring you have a consistent arc from the start of the shift to the end. Whether you are in the shipyard or the fab shop, Fabco RXR gives you the performance you need to tackle thick steel with speed and reliability.
