S280212-029 - Hobart FabCOR 1100 .045 Metal Core Wire 33lb Spool

Smooth Running, Low Smoke Wire for Heavy Duty Jobs

When you are welding heavy equipment, ships, or high-strength castings, you need a wire that runs smooth and lays down metal fast. The Hobart FabCOR® 1100 is built exactly for those tough jobs where standard mild steel wire just won't cut it. This .045" metal core wire is designed to weld high-strength steels like T1 and HY-100 without fighting the puddle. It offers excellent wetting characteristics, meaning the weld pool flows out smoothly to the toes of the weld, reducing the risk of cold lap and minimizing the need for grinding or rework later. If you are used to fighting spatter and slag, you will appreciate the clean finish this metal core wire provides.

One of the biggest benefits you will notice right away is the low smoke and fume generation. Welding high-strength steel often involves high parameters, which usually means a face full of smoke. Hobart has formulated the FabCOR 1100 to keep the air clearer, making it much more comfortable to weld with for long shifts. Because it is a metal core wire, you also get the benefit of high deposition rates. You can travel faster and fill joints quicker than you could with solid wire, all while putting less heat into the part. This is crucial when working with quench and temper steels where overheating can weaken the base metal.

This 33 lb spool is ready to load into your feeder for single or multi-pass welding. Whether you are in the shipyard or the heavy fabrication shop, the FabCOR 1100 gives you the arc stability and bead appearance you want, with the 110,000 psi tensile strength the job demands. It bridges the gap between the speed of flux core and the cleanliness of solid wire, giving you a high-performance tool for the most demanding projects.
