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.
