OVERVIEW

Experience the Edge in Metal-Cored Performance

If you are looking for a wire that runs smooth, wets out perfectly, and makes you look good with minimal effort, the Hobart FabCOR® Edge™ XP is the answer. This 0.052-inch metal-cored wire is designed with the welder's experience in mind. Unlike some wires that fight you with erratic arcs or heavy spatter, the Edge XP provides a balanced, fluid arc that feels forgiving yet powerful. It is optimized for flat and horizontal positions, allowing you to crank up the travel speed without worrying about the puddle getting away from you or the bead profile crowning up excessively.

One of the biggest headaches with metal-cored wires can be the cleanup—specifically dealing with stubborn silica islands. Hobart has tackled this head-on with the Edge XP. The wire is formulated to gather silicon into large, manageable islands that often pop off on their own or scrape away easily, leaving a clean, professional-looking bead. This means less time with a chipper or grinder and more time under the hood. The low spatter levels also mean your nozzle stays cleaner longer, and your workpiece doesn't look like it was hit with buckshot.

Whether you are running a manual gun on a heavy structural beam or overseeing a robotic cell, the consistency of this wire stands out. The 500 lb Exacto-Pak ensures you have a massive supply of wire ready to go, so you aren't stopping every few hours to swap a spool. It feeds smoothly through liners and guns, reducing bird-nesting and burn-backs. If you weld heavy equipment, truck frames, or structural steel, the FabCOR Edge XP gives you the control and speed you need to hit your targets and produce high-quality welds shift after shift.

FAQ

It is classified as AWS A5.18: E70C-6M H4 and AWS A5.28: E80C-G H4.

This wire is designed for use with mixed shielding gases, typically high-argon mixtures (e.g., 75-95% Argon with CO2 balance) to achieve optimal metal-cored characteristics.

FabCOR Edge XP is designed primarily for Flat and Horizontal welding positions.

The 500 lb Exacto-Pak reduces downtime caused by frequent spool changes, making it ideal for high-volume and robotic welding environments.

As a metal-cored wire, it produces very little slag compared to flux-cored wires. However, it does produce silicon islands that may need to be removed before painting or multi-pass welding.

This product is 0.052 inch (1.4 mm) in diameter.

It is suitable for welding non-alloyed and fine grain (carbon) steels.

It features best-in-class silicon gathering, meaning silica islands are concentrated and easily removed, and spatter is kept to a minimum.
