OVERVIEW

Reliable Strength for Heavy-Duty Fabrication

When your project demands welds that can withstand extreme stress and loads, the Hobart SubCOR 120-S is the wire you reach for. This 1/8-inch metal-cored wire is built for the submerged arc welding process, bringing you the best of both worlds: the speed and deposition efficiency of a cored wire and the clean, spatter-free finish of submerged arc. It is specifically designed for high-strength jobs, capable of delivering welds with tensile strengths over 110 ksi, making it perfect for working on heavy earth-moving equipment, crane booms, and high-pressure vessels.

Welders will appreciate the smooth runnability of the SubCOR 120-S. Because it is a composite wire, it carries current more efficiently than solid wire, allowing you to lay down more metal in less time. This means fewer passes to fill a joint and faster travel speeds, which translates to less heat input distortion and more parts out the door. The wire is formulated to work seamlessly with neutral or active fluxes to create sound, porosity-free welds on Quench and Tempered steels as well as HSLA materials.

This product comes in a 60lb coil, a standard size that fits most industrial SAW wire feeders and carts. The coil packaging ensures the wire feeds smoothly without the tangling issues sometimes associated with bulk drums, while still offering enough material to keep you welding for long stretches without frequent interruptions. Whether you are welding ship hulls or fabricating massive bridge girders, the SubCOR 120-S gives you the confidence that your welds will hold up under pressure.

Upgrade your submerged arc setup with a wire that works as hard as you do. The Hobart SubCOR 120-S ensures that every bead you lay down meets the highest standards of strength and quality, helping you tackle the toughest welding challenges with ease.
