Optimize your welding operations with the Hobart FabCOR 80N2, an AWS E80C-Ni2 classified metal-cored wire. This product is engineered to deliver exceptional mechanical properties, specifically targeting high-strength applications requiring 80,000 psi tensile strength. The .045-inch diameter wire is ideal for flat and horizontal welding positions, providing a fluid puddle that wets out smoothly to reduce stress concentrations at the toes of the weld. The 500 lb Exacto Pak (X-Pak) configuration is perfect for robotic cells and continuous heavy fabrication lines, ensuring consistent wire feeding and reduced handling.
The chemical composition of FabCOR 80N2 includes approximately 2% Nickel, which is instrumental in providing high notch toughness at sub-zero temperatures (typically down to -40°F/-40°C). This makes it the consumable of choice for fabricating weathering steels (such as ASTM A588) used in bridge construction, as well as for railcars, shipbuilding, and earthmoving equipment. The wire is designed to run on DCEP polarity using Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures (75-95% Argon), which promotes a stable spray transfer mode with virtually no spatter.
Metal-cored wires like the FabCOR 80N2 offer a distinct advantage in gap bridging and burn-through resistance on thinner sections compared to solid wires, while maintaining higher deposition rates on thick sections. The result is a versatile consumable that improves overall shop efficiency. The wire's formulation also assists in minimizing fume generation, contributing to a cleaner working environment. For fabricators seeking a balance of speed, strength, and weld quality, the FabCOR 80N2 is a proven solution.
