OVERVIEW

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.

  • Heavy Equipment Manufacturing
  • Structural Steel Fabrication
  • Shipbuilding and Railcar Repair
  • High-Volume Production Welding

FAQ

The AWS classification is E80C-Ni1.

This wire is designed for use with a mixture of 98% Argon and 2% Oxygen.

Hobart Fabcor 80D2 is a metal-cored wire.

The wire diameter is 1/16 inch (approx. 1.6mm).

It comes in a 1000 lb Rx-Pk (bulk drum/box).

Metal-cored wires of this size are typically used in Flat and Horizontal positions. Out-of-position welding may require pulsed MIG or specific techniques, but it is primarily rated for flat/horizontal.

It is developed for high-strength, low-alloy steels.

It produces minimal slag islands (silica) typical of metal-cored wires, which are easily removed compared to flux-cored slag.
