OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Strength for Heavy Fabrication

Take your heavy fabrication capabilities to the next level with Hobart Fabcor 1100, a 1/16-inch metal-cored wire built for the toughest jobs. When you are welding high-strength steels like T1, HY-100, or ASTM A514, standard mild steel wire simply won't cut it. You need a consumable that matches the base material's strength and toughness. The Fabcor 1100 delivers exactly that, boasting a tensile strength of over 110,000 psi and excellent ductility. This 1000 lb Rx-Pk is perfect for shops running long shifts or automated systems, ensuring you spend more time burning wire and less time swapping out spools.

Welders appreciate the Fabcor 1100 for its superior arc characteristics. As a metal-cored wire, it combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wire with the clean, slag-free finish of solid wire. This means you can lay down more metal in less time, with significantly less post-weld grinding or chipping required. The arc is smooth and stable, operating best with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, which helps minimize spatter and ensures deep penetration into the root of the joint. Additionally, Hobart has formulated this wire to generate lower fume levels compared to conventional wires, helping you breathe easier during long welding sessions.

This wire excels in applications requiring critical impact resistance at low temperatures, making it a go-to choice for crane manufacturing, earthmoving equipment, and railcar fabrication. The 1/16-inch diameter allows for high amperage and rapid travel speeds, perfect for filling large grooves in heavy plate. By investing in the 1000 lb bulk pack, you are optimizing your production line for maximum efficiency and consistency. Equip your shop with Hobart Fabcor 1100 and experience the difference that professional-grade filler metal makes on high-stakes projects.

FAQ

The Hobart Fabcor 1100 is classified as E110C-K4 according to AWS A5.28 standards.

It is designed for use with a mixture of 75-95% Argon and a balance of CO2 (e.g., 75/25 or 90/10).

The 1000 lb Rx-Pk (Exacto-Pak) significantly reduces downtime caused by frequent spool changes, making it ideal for automation and high-volume production.

Metal-cored wires like Fabcor 1100 are primarily designed for flat and horizontal positions. Out-of-position welding may require pulsed MIG capabilities or specific techniques.

It is specifically formulated for high-strength, low-alloy steels such as ASTM A514, HY-100, and T1 steels requiring 110,000 psi tensile strength.

This is a metal-cored wire, which typically offers higher deposition efficiency and less slag compared to flux-cored wires.

This specific product is 1/16 inch (approx. 1.6mm) in diameter.

Yes, like all low-hydrogen wires, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment with low humidity to prevent moisture pickup and potential hydrogen cracking.
