S281419-002 - Hobart FabCOR 80N2 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire, 60 lb Coil

Superior Performance with Hobart FabCOR 80N2

Take your welding projects to the next level with Hobart FabCOR 80N2, a 1/16-inch metal-cored wire designed for welders who demand both speed and quality. If your work involves critical structures that must withstand freezing temperatures without cracking, this is the wire you need. The "80N2" designation indicates a tensile strength of 80,000 psi and a 1% nickel alloy content, which provides the essential toughness required for offshore platforms, shipbuilding, and heavy construction equipment. Unlike standard solid wires, this metal-cored option gives you a wider penetration profile and better side-wall fusion, reducing the risk of cold lap and other common defects.

One of the standout features of the FabCOR 80N2 is its operator appeal. Welders will appreciate the incredibly smooth arc and the fluid weld puddle that wets out evenly at the toes. Because it is a metal-cored wire, it combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wire with the clean, slag-free finish of solid wire. This means you spend less time chipping and grinding and more time welding. The wire runs beautifully on DCEP polarity using Argon-rich shielding gas mixtures, providing a stable arc that is easy to control even at higher amperages. The 60 lb coil format is perfect for shop environments where minimizing downtime for spool changes is a priority.

Whether you are fabricating structural beams for a bridge or welding components for an oil rig, the FabCOR 80N2 delivers consistent, X-ray quality welds. Its ability to maintain high impact values at sub-zero temperatures makes it a go-to choice for projects in challenging climates. Upgrade your welding process with a wire that works as hard as you do, ensuring every bead is strong, clean, and professional.

Why Welders Choose FabCOR 80N2

• Smooth Arc: Experience a soft, stable arc with very low spatter levels, making it easier to produce aesthetically pleasing welds.
• Fast Travel Speeds: Get the job done faster with high deposition rates that outpace solid wire.
