Hobart Fabshield XLNT-6 3/32" Self-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire 20lb Spool

Heavy-Duty Performance for the Toughest Jobs

When you are out in the field welding structural steel, bridges, or heavy equipment, you need a wire that can handle the elements and lay down metal fast. The Hobart Fabshield XLNT-6 3/32" wire is built exactly for that purpose. As a self-shielded flux-cored wire, it liberates you from dragging heavy gas cylinders around the job site or worrying about the wind blowing away your shielding gas. It creates its own protection, allowing you to weld outdoors with confidence and consistency.

Welders appreciate the Fabshield XLNT-6 for its "excellent" operator appeal—true to its name. Despite being a large diameter wire (3/32 inch), it offers a smooth, stable arc that digs deep and fills joints quickly. The slag system is designed for easy removal; in many cases, the slag is self-peeling, which saves you valuable time on cleanup and inter-pass grinding. This means you can spend more time welding and less time chipping, boosting your daily productivity on large multi-pass welds.

This 20 lb spool is vacuum-packed to ensure freshness. Moisture is the enemy of flux-cored wire, leading to porosity and worm tracks, but Hobart's VPSP packaging guarantees that the wire is factory-fresh the moment you crack the seal. Whether you are repairing a barge, erecting a skyscraper, or fabricating heavy machinery, this wire delivers the strength and toughness required for code-quality work. It is optimized for flat and horizontal welds, giving you the control needed to lay down perfect beads on thick plate steel.
