OVERVIEW

Blast Through Mill Scale with Hobart FabCOR 86R

Tired of grinding off every inch of mill scale before you lay a bead? The Hobart FabCOR 86R .045" Metal Core Wire is your solution for faster, cleaner welds on imperfect steel. This 50 lb spool is packed with a high-deoxidizer formula that eats through mill scale and light rust, letting you weld with confidence and speed. It’s the perfect upgrade from solid wire when you need to boost production without sacrificing quality.

Metal core wire is the secret weapon of high-production shops. The FabCOR 86R gives you the best of both worlds: the speed and deposition of a tubular wire with the clean finish of a solid wire. You get a smooth, spray-like transfer with Argon/CO2 gas blends, resulting in beautiful beads and almost zero spatter to clean up afterward. Whether you are building railcars, heavy equipment, or structural components, this wire helps you get the job done faster.

This wire isn't just about speed; it's about forgiveness. It handles poor fit-up gaps better than solid wire and provides excellent wetting action. The AWS E70C-6M H4 rating ensures you are getting a high-quality, low-hydrogen consumable that meets industry standards. Load up a 50lb spool of FabCOR 86R and experience the difference in your welding productivity today.

FAQ

Hobart FabCOR 86R is designed for use with Argon/CO2 mixtures. Common blends include 75% Argon / 25% CO2 or 90% Argon / 10% CO2 for optimal arc stability and reduced spatter.

This is a metal-cored wire (AWS E70C-6M). It contains metal powder in the core rather than flux, offering higher deposition efficiency and less slag than flux-cored wires.

Yes, FabCOR 86R has higher deoxidization elements specifically formulated to provide greater tolerance for welding over mill scale and light rust compared to solid wires.

The AWS classification is E70C-6M H4. This indicates a 70 ksi tensile strength, metal core electrode, for use with mixed gas, and low diffusible hydrogen (H4).

This spool contains 0.045-inch (1.2 mm) diameter wire.

FabCOR 86R is designed to run on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

Metal core wires produce very little slag compared to flux-cored wires. You may see small silicon islands that are easily removed, often requiring little to no chipping.

This is a standard 50 lb (22.7 kg) spool.
