S247019-056 - Hobart FabCO TR-70 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire 600lb Drum

Superior Operator Appeal and Performance

Hobart FabCO TR-70 is designed with the welder in mind, offering one of the smoothest arcs in its class for gas-shielded flux-cored welding. If you are welding heavy plate in the flat or horizontal position, this wire makes the job easier and cleaner. The 1/16-inch diameter allows you to lay down metal fast, but unlike many high-deposition wires, the TR-70 maintains a soft, stable arc that is easy to control. One of the standout features for operators is the low spatter generation; this means less time spent with a grinder or chipper cleaning up the material after the weld is done, allowing you to move on to the next joint faster.

Slag removal is another area where the FabCO TR-70 shines. The slag system is designed to freeze fast and peel off easily, often curling up on its own as the weld cools. This reveals a smooth, flat bead with excellent tie-in at the toes, reducing the risk of lack-of-fusion defects and making multi-pass welds hassle-free. The wire runs on 100% CO2, which provides deep penetration to bite into the base metal, ensuring you get a solid weld every time. It handles rust and mill scale moderately well, making it a forgiving choice for real-world shop conditions where surface preparation might not always be perfect.

Packaged in a massive 600lb X-Pack drum, this product is perfect for welders who are tired of constantly stopping to swap out 33lb spools. The drum feeds smoothly and allows for long, uninterrupted welding sessions, which is great for long seams on girders, tanks, or heavy machinery frames. Whether you are building railcars, mining equipment, or structural beams, the Hobart FabCO TR-70 gives you the confidence to weld at high parameters while keeping the puddle under control and the fumes manageable.
