Hobart FabCOR Edge XP 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire, 1000 lb Reel

Precision and Control: Hobart FabCOR Edge XP 1/16"

For the professional welder demanding superior arc characteristics and puddle control, the Hobart FabCOR Edge XP 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire sets a new standard in the E70C-6M category. This wire is engineered to provide an incredibly smooth, balanced arc that remains stable even at high currents. The metal-cored design combines the high deposition efficiency of solid wire with the wetting and profile benefits of flux-cored wire, giving you the best of both worlds. It excels in single and multi-pass applications on non-alloyed and fine grain carbon steels.

The first thing you will notice is the weld pool fluidity. The FabCOR Edge XP wets out beautifully, creating flat, smooth beads with excellent contouring. This wetting action helps eliminate cold lap and ensures solid fusion at the toes of the weld. The wire is designed for use with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures (typically 75-95% Argon), which helps achieve a spray transfer mode that is virtually spatter-free. This specific 1/16" diameter is perfect for heavy-plate applications where deep penetration and high fill rates are required.

Silicon management is where this wire truly shines technically. Instead of a glassy film that is hard to remove, the silicon gathers in distinct islands that often pop off or brush away easily. This is critical for multi-pass welds where inter-pass cleaning is necessary to prevent inclusions. The 1000 lb Rx-Pk (Reel) configuration is designed for stationary setups, such as boom-mounted feeders or robotic arms, ensuring a straight, cast-free wire feed that improves tip life and arc stability. If you are welding structural components, truck trailers, or heavy earth-moving gear in the flat or horizontal position, the FabCOR Edge XP provides the reliability and performance you need to lay down perfect beads shift after shift.
