S281212-050 - Hobart FabCOR 80D2 0.045 Metal-Cored Wire 500lb X-Pak

Heavy-Duty Performance for Tough Jobs

When your project involves heavy equipment, mining machinery, or structural steel that demands extra strength, the Hobart FabCOR 80D2 is the wire you can trust. This .045-inch metal-cored wire is a workhorse for fabricators who need to lay down a lot of metal fast without sacrificing quality. Unlike standard solid wires, the FabCOR 80D2 uses a hollow metal sheath filled with metallic powders. This design allows the current to travel through the outside sheath, creating a broader, more intense arc cone that wets out beautifully at the toes of the weld.

Boost Your Productivity

Time is money in any shop, and this wire is built for speed. The 500 lb X-Pak is perfect for high-volume shops, drastically reducing the number of times you have to stop and swap out spools. You get a smooth, spray-transfer arc that feels stable and controllable, allowing you to weld at higher travel speeds. Plus, the clean-up is a breeze—there is almost no slag to chip, and spatter is virtually non-existent when using the recommended Argon/Oxygen mix. This means you spend more time welding and less time grinding.

Built for Strength

The "80" in 80D2 stands for 80,000 psi tensile strength, meaning this wire produces welds that are tough enough to withstand the abuse faced by earthmovers, railcars, and ship components. It is specifically formulated to weld high-strength, low-alloy steels, providing excellent toughness even in cold environments. If you are welding thick plate or critical structural joints, the deep penetration and superior sidewall fusion of FabCOR 80D2 give you the confidence that your welds will hold up under pressure.
