Take your welding projects to the next level with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP 1/16" metal-cored wire. If you are looking for a wire that runs smooth, wets out like a dream, and leaves a bead that looks like it was laid by a machine, this is it. The "XP" stands for eXceptional Performance, and it lives up to the name by offering a balanced arc that feels forgiving yet powerful, making it a favorite among professional welders for structural and heavy-duty repairs.
We know that cleanup is the least enjoyable part of the job. That's why Hobart designed the FabCOR Edge XP with best-in-class silicon gathering technology. Instead of fighting stubborn glass islands scattered all over your weld, you'll find the silicon gathers neatly in large islands that often curl up and pop off on their own as the weld cools. This means less time with a chipping hammer or wire wheel and more time burning wire. The low spatter levels further keep your workpiece clean and your nozzle clear.
This 1/16" wire is a beast for laying down metal fast. It offers high deposition rates that solid wires just can't match, allowing you to complete long joints in fewer passes. It is designed specifically for flat and horizontal welding, where its fluid puddle flows out perfectly to create flat, smooth bead contours with excellent tie-in at the toes. Whether you are welding on agricultural machinery, truck frames, or railcars, the FabCOR Edge XP gives you the control and speed you need to produce professional-grade results every time.
Compatible with high-argon shielding gas mixes, this wire provides a stable, spray-like transfer that minimizes smoke and fume compared to flux-cored alternatives. Upgrade your setup with the 50 lb spool and feel the difference a premium metal-cored wire makes in your daily fabrication work.
