OVERVIEW

High-Performance E71T-1 Flux-Cored Wire

Experience superior weldability with the Hobart Fabco Triple 7, a 1/16" (1.6mm) gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered for professional welders who demand consistency and ease of use. This wire carries the AWS classification E71T-1C and E71T-1M, indicating its suitability for single and multi-pass welding on mild steel using either straight CO2 or an Argon/CO2 blend. The 33 lb (15 kg) spool size is standard for industrial wire feeders, ensuring you have ample material for long runs and extensive projects.

The Fabco Triple 7 is renowned for its excellent arc stability and low spatter generation. These features not only make the welding process smoother and more controlled but also contribute to a cleaner work environment and less wear on consumables like contact tips and nozzles. The wire's chemistry is optimized to produce low fume levels compared to conventional flux-cored wires, enhancing operator comfort during prolonged welding sessions.

Technically, this wire excels in delivering deep penetration and sound X-ray quality welds. Its fast-freezing slag system supports high deposition rates in out-of-position welding, particularly vertical-up, where maintaining puddle control can be challenging. Whether you are welding thick structural plates or fabricating heavy machinery components, the Hobart Fabco Triple 7 provides the mechanical strength (70,000+ psi tensile strength) and impact toughness required for critical code work.
