Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .035 Metal Core Wire 33lb Spool

Boost Productivity with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP

Take your welding projects to the next level with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .035" metal-cored wire. Designed for welders who demand speed without sacrificing quality, this wire offers a distinct advantage over traditional solid wires and flux-cored options. The FabCOR Edge XP is formulated to provide a smooth, spray-like transfer with minimal spatter, making it a favorite for high-production shops fabricating heavy equipment, truck bodies, and railcars. The 33lb spool ensures you have ample material to keep welding longer between changeovers.

The "Edge" advantage lies in the wire's incredible forgiveness and ease of use. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a developing welder, you will appreciate the balanced arc that feels soft yet penetrating. The weld puddle is highly fluid, which helps the bead wash out flat and smooth, minimizing the "crowned" profile often seen with other wires. This excellent wetting action is crucial for avoiding cold lap and ensuring solid fusion into the base metal. Additionally, the wire is designed to minimize silica island formation and concentrate what little forms into the center of the bead, where it often flakes off on its own as the weld cools.

Using FabCOR Edge XP means spending more time welding and less time grinding. The low spatter generation keeps nozzles clean and reduces the need for anti-spatter sprays. While primarily designed for flat and horizontal positioning, the .035" diameter offers versatility for various joint configurations. It requires a high-argon shielding gas blend (typically 75% to 95% Argon with CO2 balance), which contributes to the clean, stable arc and deep penetration profile. Upgrade your MIG process with the efficiency of metal-core technology.
