Take your welding projects to the next level with the Hobart FabCO Excel-Arc 71, a top-tier flux-cored wire built for professional welders who demand consistency and control. This 1.6mm (1/16") wire comes in a substantial 44lb spool, perfect for heavy-duty jobs where downtime for spool changes needs to be minimized. Known for its "operator appeal," this wire makes out-of-position welding significantly easier thanks to its fast-freezing slag characteristics.
Why struggle with messy welds? The Excel-Arc 71 is engineered to produce a flat bead profile with very low spatter levels, keeping your workpiece clean and reducing grinding time. The slag practically peels off by itself in many cases. It offers the flexibility to use either straight CO2 for economy and penetration or an Argon/CO2 blend for a smoother arc and superior bead appearance. This adaptability makes it a go-to choice for shops that handle a variety of steel fabrication tasks.
From heavy farm machinery repairs to structural beam welding, this wire delivers the mechanical strength you need. It provides excellent impact resistance even in colder conditions, ensuring your welds hold up under stress. Upgrade your MIG setup with Hobart's trusted technology and experience smoother, faster, and cleaner welds on mild steel applications.
