Extend Equipment Life with Hobart FabTuf 960 Hardfacing Wire

Don't let worn-out parts slow down your operation. The Hobart FabTuf 960 .045" Hardfacing Wire is your first line of defense against equipment degradation. Sold in a substantial 33 lb spool, this metal-cored wire is engineered to rebuild and protect steel parts that take a beating every day. Whether you are repairing bucket teeth on a loader, reinforcing a conveyor system, or fixing dredge parts, FabTuf 960 deposits a tough, wear-resistant layer that resists both abrasion and moderate impact.

One of the standout features of this wire is its welder-friendly playability. If you've struggled with messy flux-cored wires in the past, you will appreciate the cleaner, smoother experience of Hobart's metal-core technology. It generates significantly less fume, giving you a clearer view of the puddle and a more comfortable welding experience. Plus, its superior out-of-position capability means you can weld vertical or overhead when the job demands it, saving you the hassle of flipping heavy parts or maneuvering awkward machinery.

Cost-effective maintenance is all about durability, and that is exactly what FabTuf 960 delivers. With a hardness rating of 55-60 Rc, it creates a surface that stands up to the harshest environments found in construction, agriculture, and mining. Instead of replacing expensive components like coupling boxes, mill guides, or muller tires, you can resurface them for a fraction of the cost. This wire uses standard CO2 shielding gas, making it compatible with most standard MIG setups found in repair shops.
