OVERVIEW

Experience Superior Arc Stability with Hobart Fabco TR-70

For welders tackling heavy-duty projects, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 5/64" flux-cored wire offers a blend of power and control that makes tough jobs easier. This 60lb coil is built for the long haul, designed to run smoothly with 100% CO2 shielding gas. If you are welding thick plate, structural beams, or heavy machinery parts, this wire provides the deep penetration needed to ensure a sound weld, while its high deposition rate helps you lay down metal faster and more efficiently.

What sets the Fabco TR-70 apart is its exceptional "operator appeal." Welding with large diameter flux-cored wires can sometimes be a messy and smoky affair, but Hobart has engineered this wire to produce low smoke and very low spatter levels. This means you spend less time chipping away spatter and more time welding. The arc is stable and consistent, giving you the confidence to run long, continuous beads in flat and horizontal positions without fighting the puddle. The slag coverage is complete but detaches easily—often curling up on its own—revealing a smooth, professional-looking bead underneath.

This wire is an excellent choice for applications involving earthmoving equipment, railcars, and general heavy fabrication. It handles rust and mill scale better than solid wires, thanks to its aggressive flux formulation. The 5/64" diameter allows for high amperage settings, maximizing your travel speed on thick sections. When your project demands structural integrity and you want a wire that runs clean and fast, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 is a reliable partner in the shop.

FAQ

This wire is designed to be used with 100% CO2 shielding gas.

The Hobart Fabco TR-70 meets AWS A5.20 classifications E70T-1C and E70T-9C.

This wire is designed for welding in the Flat and Horizontal positions only.

This product is a 5/64 inch (approx. 2.0 mm) diameter wire.

It comes in a 60 lb coil. You may need a coil adapter for your wire feeder if it is set up for spools.

Yes, flux-cored wires like the TR-70 generally handle moderate rust and mill scale better than solid MIG wires due to the deoxidizers in the flux.

This wire operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

It is widely used for heavy equipment, structural steel, shipbuilding, and railcar fabrication due to its high deposition rates.
