S249412-050 - Hobart FabCOR 86R .045 Metal-Cored Wire 500lb Drum

Superior Mill Scale Tolerance and Productivity

Step up your welding game with the Hobart FabCOR 86R, a metal-cored wire built to handle the tough reality of fabrication shops. If you are tired of grinding mill scale off every piece of steel before you strike an arc, this wire is your solution. Engineered with extra deoxidizers, the FabCOR 86R burns through light rust and mill scale with ease, leaving you with a clean, solid weld and saving you hours of prep time. It is the perfect workhorse for structural steel, railcars, and heavy equipment repairs where surface conditions aren't always perfect.

Faster Welding, Less Cleanup

One of the biggest advantages of switching to FabCOR 86R from solid wire is the deposition rate. Because the current travels through the outer metal sheath, you get a higher current density that melts the wire faster. This means you can lay down more metal in less time, increasing your travel speeds and getting jobs out the door faster. Plus, the arc is incredibly soft and stable, producing almost no spatter. This means you spend less time chipping and grinding after the weld is done, keeping your workflow smooth and efficient.

Maximize Arc-On Time

This product comes in a massive 500lb drum, designed for serious fabricators who want to keep the arc lit. If you are running a robotic cell or a dedicated station that burns wire all day, this bulk package eliminates the downtime of constantly swapping out 33lb or 44lb spools. The wire pays out smoothly, preventing tangles and feed issues that can ruin a weld or stop production. It allows you to focus on the weld puddle rather than watching the spool run empty.

Versatile and Reliable

The FabCOR 86R runs on Argon/CO2 mixtures, typically 75/25 or 90/10, giving you that smooth spray transfer welders love. It is rated for single and multiple pass welds, making it versatile enough for thick plate welding in shipbuilding or general fabrication. With its H4 low-hydrogen rating, you can also be confident that your welds are resistant to cracking, ensuring the durability and safety of your final product. Upgrade to Hobart FabCOR 86R and experience the difference in speed, quality, and ease of use.
