OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance with Hobart Fabco TR-70

When your project demands speed, strength, and a clean finish on heavy steel, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 1/16" flux-cored wire is your go-to solution. Designed for the professional welder tackling big jobs, this wire is a powerhouse for earthmoving equipment, structural steel, and railcar fabrication. It is formulated to run smooth and fast, giving you the high deposition rates needed to fill joints quickly without sacrificing quality.

We know that time spent cleaning up spatter and chipping slag is time lost. That's why Hobart engineered the TR-70 to have excellent "operator appeal." It produces a stable arc with minimal spatter, keeping your workpiece cleaner and your nozzle clear. The slag coverage is complete but detaches easily—often peeling up on its own—so you can move on to the next pass or finish the job with minimal downtime. The deep penetration you get with this wire, combined with CO2 shielding gas, ensures you are laying down solid, reliable welds that stand up to the toughest conditions.

This 33lb spool is perfect for shop environments where efficiency is key. Whether you are welding thick plate in a shipyard or repairing mining machinery, the Fabco TR-70 offers the consistency you expect from the Hobart brand. It is strictly for flat and horizontal positions, allowing you to maximize travel speed and bead profile on those long, heavy welds. Upgrade your welding consumables to a wire that works as hard as you do.

Why Choose Fabco TR-70?

It's all about the balance of performance and ease of use. You get the heavy-hitting penetration required for thick materials, but with a smoothness that reduces fatigue. If you are running 100% CO2 and need a wire that delivers structural-grade results on mild steel, this is the industry standard for a reason.
