OVERVIEW

Premium Performance with Hobart Fabco TR-70 Flux-Cored Wire

Elevate your heavy-duty welding projects with the Hobart Fabco TR-70, a 5/64" gas-shielded flux-cored wire delivered in a 50lb spool. This wire is the go-to solution for professional welders tackling structural steel, heavy equipment repair, and general plate fabrication. The Fabco TR-70 is an E70T-1 class wire, renowned for its exceptional arc characteristics and ability to lay down metal quickly and smoothly in the flat and horizontal positions.

When welding thick sections, penetration is key, and the Fabco TR-70 delivers. It produces a deep, penetrating arc that ensures strong fusion at the root of the weld. The wire operates with a spray-like transfer when used with CO2, providing a stable arc with low spatter levels. This makes it incredibly user-friendly, allowing welders to maintain precise control over the weld puddle. The resulting bead profile is flat to slightly convex, with excellent tie-in at the toes, reducing the risk of defects and stress concentrations.

The chemical composition of the flux core provides robust mechanical properties, meeting AWS requirements for tensile strength and impact resistance. It is particularly forgiving on base metals that may not be perfectly clean, handling moderate levels of rust and mill scale effectively. The fast-freezing slag supports the weld puddle well in horizontal fillets, preventing sagging and ensuring a professional finish. Whether you are building earthmoving equipment or fabricating structural beams, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 provides the consistency and performance professional welders demand.

Technical Advantages:

  • Deep Penetration: Ensures solid root fusion on thick plates.
  • Excellent Slag Removal: Slag often self-peels, reducing cleanup labor.
  • Stable Arc: Smooth transfer with CO2 minimizes spatter and improves operator comfort.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for non-alloyed and fine grain steels in heavy construction.
