When your project involves miles of heavy plate welding, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 3/32" flux-cored wire is the workhorse you need. This wire is legendary among professional welders for its ability to lay down metal fast without sacrificing quality. Designed for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, the TR-70 provides a digging arc that ensures deep penetration into the base material, giving you confidence in the structural integrity of every joint. This 800 lb reel is built for the long haul, perfect for shop environments where stopping to swap out small spools kills momentum and profitability.
Operator appeal is where the Fabco TR-70 truly shines. Despite its high amperage capabilities and large diameter, it offers a surprisingly smooth arc with very low spatter. We know that time spent grinding spatter is time wasted, and this wire helps keep your hood down and your arc on. The slag release is excellent—often curling up on its own as it cools—revealing a smooth, ripple-free bead profile underneath. While it is restricted to flat and horizontal positions, this specialization allows it to perform exceptionally well in those orientations, supporting high travel speeds and heavy deposition rates that all-position wires simply cannot match.
This wire is an ideal choice for fabricating heavy equipment, bridge girders, and ship hulls. The 3/32" diameter allows for massive amperage throughput, meaning you can fill large bevels in fewer passes. The low fume generation is another significant benefit, helping to keep the shop air cleaner and improving visibility of the weld puddle. If you are welding mild steel or low-alloy steel and need a wire that balances performance, ease of use, and industrial-scale efficiency, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 is the proven solution.
