S281219-058 - Hobart Fabcor 80D2 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire, 1000lb Drum

Maximize Productivity with Hobart Fabcor 80D2

Take your heavy fabrication projects to the next level with Hobart Fabcor 80D2, a 1/16-inch metal-cored welding wire designed for serious performance. If you are welding high-strength, low-alloy steels used in earthmovers, cranes, or railcars, this wire provides the strength and consistency you need. The 1000 lb bulk package is perfect for shops that burn through wire fast and want to stop wasting time swapping out small spools.

Why choose metal-core? Fabcor 80D2 combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wire with the high efficiency and clean finish of solid wire. You get a smooth, stable arc with excellent wetting action, meaning the weld puddle flows out evenly to tie into the toes of the weld. This reduces the chance of cold lap and makes your beads look professional with minimal effort. Plus, the slag islands are small and easily removed, often requiring little to no chipping.

This wire is formulated to run best on a 98% Argon / 2% Oxygen gas mix, which helps achieve a true spray transfer. This means you can weld faster and hotter without dealing with the mess of excessive spatter. Whether you are building structural beams or repairing mining equipment, the Fabcor 80D2 gives you the confidence that your welds will hold up under stress. The bulk Rx-Pk design feeds smoothly, preventing tangles and wire flip issues that can ruin a good weld.
