S280115-029 - Hobart Fabcor 100 Metal-Cored Wire .052 33lb Spool

Hobart Fabcor 100: The Standard for High-Strength Welding

Elevate your heavy fabrication projects with the Hobart Fabcor 100 .052" Metal-Cored Wire. This 33-pound spool is designed for professional welders who require a filler metal capable of matching the strength of high-yield steels. With a minimum tensile strength of 100 ksi, Fabcor 100 is the ideal solution for welding T-1 steels and other high-strength low-alloy materials used in the most demanding industrial sectors.

Optimized for Tough Environments

When welding components that will be subjected to harsh weather and heavy dynamic loads, impact toughness is key. The Fabcor 100 excels in this area, offering superior crack resistance and toughness at temperatures as low as -60°F. This makes it a preferred consumable for the railcar industry, mining infrastructure, and heavy construction equipment that must perform reliably in sub-zero conditions.

Smooth Performance and Clean Welds

Welders appreciate the Fabcor 100 for its excellent arc characteristics. The metal-cored design combines the high deposition efficiency of flux-cored wires with the cleanliness of solid wires. You can expect low spatter levels and a stable arc when using Argon/CO2 shielding gas blends. The resulting weld beads are smooth and require minimal inter-pass cleaning, which streamlines multi-pass welding operations on thick materials.

Versatile Industrial Use

From automotive chassis manufacturing to the assembly of massive cranes, the Fabcor 100 adapts to various high-stress applications. Its ability to handle high currents allows for deep penetration, ensuring solid root fusion. This wire is typically run on DCEP polarity and is compatible with standard CV wire feeders equipped for .052" wire. Choose Hobart Fabcor 100 for a welding wire that delivers both speed and superior mechanical properties.
