S246525-008 - Hobart Fabco RXR Flux-Cored Wire 5/64" 600lb Drum

High-Performance E70T-1 Wire for Rusty and Scaled Steel

Hobart Fabco RXR is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered to tackle the toughest welding conditions. With a diameter of 5/64 inches and packaged in a bulk 600lb drum, this product is tailored for professional welders and fabrication shops aiming for maximum productivity. The wire carries the AWS E70T-1 classification, indicating its suitability for single and multiple pass welding on mild steel in flat and horizontal positions.

The "RXR" designation signifies a specific formulation rich in de-oxidizers. This chemistry provides exceptional tolerance to base metal contaminants. If you frequently weld on hot-rolled steel with heavy mill scale or material that has been exposed to the elements and developed rust, Fabco RXR helps prevent porosity and lack of fusion defects that lesser wires might struggle with. The arc characteristics are smooth and stable, producing a flat bead profile that blends well with the base metal.

Optimized for 100% CO2 shielding gas, this wire delivers deep penetration, ensuring structural integrity in thick plate applications. The slag system is designed for easy detachment, often peeling off by itself or with minimal chipping, which speeds up inter-pass cleaning and overall cycle times. From general fabrication to critical offshore structures, Hobart Fabco RXR provides the mechanical properties and operator appeal necessary for high-quality heavy welding.
