Hobart Fabcor 1100: 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire for Heavy-Duty Repairs

When your project demands maximum strength and reliability, the Hobart Fabcor 1100 1/16" metal-cored wire is the professional's choice. Packaged in a 33lb spool, this wire is built to tackle the toughest steels on the market, including T1, HY-100, and ASTM A514. If you are repairing heavy equipment booms, structural frames, or mining machinery that undergoes extreme stress, this wire provides the 110,000 psi tensile strength necessary to ensure the repair holds up under load.

Welders will appreciate the superior arc characteristics of the Fabcor 1100. As a metal-cored wire, it offers the best of both worlds: the speed of flux-core and the cleanliness of solid wire. The tubular design allows for higher current densities, which translates to faster travel speeds and higher deposition rates. This means you can lay down more metal in less time, increasing your throughput on large fabrication jobs. The arc is smooth and stable, providing excellent puddle control and wetting action at the toes of the weld.

One of the biggest benefits of switching to Fabcor 1100 is the reduction in post-weld cleanup. Unlike flux-cored wires that leave a heavy slag covering, this metal-cored wire produces minimal slag islands that often pop off on their own or require just a quick brush. This makes it excellent for multi-pass welds on thick sections, as you won't waste valuable time chipping slag between passes. Additionally, the low-fume formulation helps keep your breathing zone clearer, which is a major plus when welding on large pre-heated assemblies.

Designed primarily for flat and horizontal welding positions, this wire produces a flat, smooth bead profile with deep penetration. It is an excellent upgrade for shops currently using solid wire for high-strength applications but looking to increase productivity, or for those using flux-core who want a cleaner process. With Hobart's reputation for quality, you can trust the Fabcor 1100 to deliver consistent results spool after spool.
