S280112-029 - Hobart Fabcor 100 Metal-Cored Wire .045 33lb Spool

Experience Superior Arc Performance with Fabcor 100

Take your heavy-duty welding projects to the next level with Hobart Fabcor 100, a .045-inch metal-cored wire built for welders who demand both strength and playability. If you are welding on high-strength steels used in heavy machinery or structural supports, you know that standard ER70S-6 solid wire just won't cut it. The Fabcor 100 steps up with a massive 100 ksi minimum tensile strength, ensuring your welds are as tough as the base material you are joining. Plus, it offers incredible impact toughness down to -60°F, giving you peace of mind that your welds won't crack under extreme cold or heavy shock loads.

What makes this wire a favorite among fabricators is its smooth, spray-like transfer when used with Argon/CO2 gas blends. Because it is a metal-cored wire, it combines the best attributes of solid and flux-cored wires. You get the high deposition rates and fast travel speeds of a flux-cored wire, but with minimal slag to chip away and very low spatter levels. This means you spend more time welding and less time grinding or cleaning up your parts. The arc is stable and forgiving, helping you lay down flat, smooth beads with excellent wetting action at the toes of the weld.

The Fabcor 100 is versatile enough for both single and multi-pass applications. Whether you are filling a deep groove on a mining bucket or running long fillets on a railcar chassis, this wire handles it with ease. It is designed to run on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) and feeds smoothly through standard MIG guns, reducing liner wear and bird-nesting issues. The 33 lb spool size is perfect for shop use, offering a good balance between run-time and ease of handling when changing out spools.

Stop struggling with slow travel speeds or excessive spatter on high-strength jobs. Upgrade to Hobart Fabcor 100 and experience the productivity boost that comes with premium metal-cored technology. It handles mill scale better than solid wire and provides the deep penetration needed for critical structural welds, ensuring you get the job done right the first time.
