OVERVIEW

Smooth Running, High Deposition Welding Wire

When your project calls for serious metal deposition and a bead that looks as good as it holds, the Hobart FabCO TR-70 is the wire you reach for. This 1/16-inch flux-cored wire is a favorite among professional welders for its exceptional operator appeal and "smooth running" characteristics. Designed for the flat and horizontal positions, it takes the headache out of welding heavy plate by providing a stable arc and a fluid puddle that wets out perfectly at the toes. Whether you are building railcars, repairing earthmoving equipment, or fabricating structural beams, the TR-70 delivers the consistency you need to get the job done right the first time.

We know that cleanup time is wasted time. That's why the FabCO TR-70 is engineered to produce low spatter levels, even when running at high amperages with CO2 gas. The slag coverage is complete but detaches easily—often curling up on its own as the weld cools—revealing a bright, smooth bead underneath. This makes it an excellent choice for multi-pass welds where you need to stack beads quickly without fighting stubborn slag inclusions. The low fume generation also contributes to a better working environment, helping you stay focused under the hood.

This 60 lb coil offers a generous supply of material, keeping you welding longer between spool changes. It is robust enough to handle the high currents required for deep penetration on thick steel, yet forgiving enough to produce professional-quality finishes. If you are looking for a workhorse wire that balances speed, quality, and ease of use, the Hobart FabCO TR-70 is ready to tackle your toughest heavy fabrication challenges.
