S247119-002 - Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71 Flux-Cored Wire 1/16" 60lb Coil

High-Performance Hobart Flux-Cored Wire

Take your welding projects to the next level with the Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71, a top-tier flux-cored wire that combines ease of use with professional-grade results. This 1/16-inch wire comes in a bulk 60lb coil, perfect for busy shops and long-duration welding sessions where efficiency is key. Known for its "operator appeal," the Excel-Arc 71 is a favorite among welders for its incredibly smooth arc and low spatter levels, which means you spend more time welding and less time grinding or cleaning up around the weld zone.

Versatility is the name of the game with this wire. It is an all-position consumable, meaning you can tackle flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welds without changing your setup. The fast-freezing slag acts as a shelf to support the weld puddle when fighting gravity, making vertical-up welds look like they were done by a master. It works beautifully with either straight CO2 for deep penetration and cost savings, or an Argon/CO2 blend for an even smoother arc and flatter bead profile. This flexibility allows you to adapt to whatever gas supply is available or preferred for the specific job.

Designed for mild steel and low-alloy applications, the FabCO Excel-Arc 71 is tough enough for heavy machinery repairs yet manageable enough for general fabrication work. The slag removal is practically effortless, often curling up on its own as the weld cools. If you are looking for a wire that delivers consistent mechanical properties, excellent bead appearance, and high productivity, this Hobart wire is the reliable choice for your workshop.
