OVERVIEW

Master Mill Scale with Hobart FabCOR 86R

Take your welding productivity to the next level with Hobart FabCOR 86R .035" Metal Core Wire. If you are a professional welder or fabricator tired of battling porosity when welding over mill scale or light rust, this wire is engineered for you. The FabCOR 86R features a metal-cored construction packed with high levels of deoxidizers that aggressively clean the weld puddle, allowing you to lay down sound, defect-free welds even on steel that isn't perfectly prepped. This means less time grinding and more time burning wire.

This 33lb spool is perfect for shop environments using Argon/CO2 shielding gas blends. You will immediately notice the difference in how the wire runs compared to standard solid wires. The arc is softer and wider, providing excellent tie-in at the toes of the weld, while the spray transfer mode (achievable at lower amperages than solid wire) delivers virtually spatter-free performance. Whether you are working on railcars, heavy equipment, or structural beams, the FabCOR 86R helps you weld faster with higher travel speeds, boosting your daily output.

The wire is classified as E70C-6M and is designed primarily for flat and horizontal positioning, making it a powerhouse for fillet welds and groove welds in production settings. It offers the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires but with the high efficiency and lack of slag associated with solid wires. Upgrade your setup with Hobart FabCOR 86R and experience the smooth, fast, and clean welding performance that professional fabricators trust.

FAQ

Hobart FabCOR 86R is designed for use with Argon/CO2 mixtures, typically ranging from 75% Argon/25% CO2 to 95% Argon/5% CO2.

Yes, FabCOR 86R has higher levels of deoxidizers (silicon and manganese) specifically formulated to tolerate mill scale and light rust better than standard solid wires.

This wire is classified as AWS E70C-6M.

FabCOR 86R is primarily designed for flat and horizontal applications. However, it can be used out-of-position if used with a pulsed MIG power source.

Metal core wire like FabCOR 86R generally offers higher deposition rates, faster travel speeds, and better wetting action compared to solid wire, along with better tolerance for contaminants.

Metal core wires produce very little to no slag, similar to solid wire, often appearing only as small islands of silicon that are easily removed.

This specific product is 0.035 inches in diameter.

This wire requires Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.
