Hobart Fabco Triple 7 is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for single and multiple pass welding of carbon and certain low-alloy steels. This 1/16" diameter wire, supplied in a 50lb spool, meets AWS E71T-1C and E71T-1M classifications, offering superior mechanical properties including excellent impact toughness at low temperatures. This makes it an ideal candidate for critical structural applications where weld integrity is paramount, such as in bridge construction, offshore platforms, and railcar manufacturing.
Technical Superiority & Arc Characteristics
The formulation of Fabco Triple 7 provides a smooth, stable arc with a spray-like transfer that minimizes spatter. The fast-freezing slag characteristics are specifically tuned to enhance out-of-position weldability, particularly in the vertical-up position, without sacrificing bead contour or wetting action. Welders will appreciate the forgiving nature of the arc, which helps bridge gaps and handle fit-up variations common in heavy fabrication environments.
Versatile Gas Shielding
This wire is formulated to perform under both 100% CO2 and 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gases. Using mixed gas typically results in a smoother arc and higher tensile strengths, while straight CO2 offers deeper penetration and economy. The wire delivers low diffusible hydrogen levels (H8 designation), reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in thicker plate sections. With its robust mechanical properties and operator-friendly characteristics, Hobart Fabco Triple 7 stands out as a top-tier consumable for professional industrial welding.
