Superior All-Position Performance with Hobart Excel-Arc 71

Take your welding productivity to the next level with Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71. This 0.045-inch flux-cored wire is a favorite among professional welders for its incredibly smooth arc and "forgiving" nature in difficult positions. Whether you are welding vertical-up on a structural beam or overhead in a shipyard, the fast-freezing slag holds the puddle in place, helping you create flat, professional-looking beads with minimal effort.

Less Cleanup, More Welding
One of the biggest advantages of the Excel-Arc 71 is its easy slag removal. In many cases, the slag lifts off by itself as the weld cools, or requires just a light tap, saving you valuable time on grinding and chipping. Combined with low spatter levels, this wire keeps your workpiece clean and reduces the time spent on post-weld cleanup. It is designed to run smoothly with either straight CO2 or a 75/25 Argon mix, giving you the flexibility to use the gas you have on hand or optimize for the specific job requirements.

Built for Tough Jobs
This 44 lb spool is ready for heavy-duty industrial applications. From general fabrication and railcar repair to heavy equipment manufacturing, the Excel-Arc 71 delivers consistent, high-quality welds that pass X-ray inspection. Its low fume formula also helps improve visibility and air quality in the welding zone. If you need a reliable, all-purpose wire that handles mild steel and low-alloy applications with ease, Hobart Excel-Arc 71 is the dependable choice for your shop.
