OVERVIEW

Hobart FabCOR Edge: The Cleaner, Faster Metal Core Wire

Take your welding productivity to the next level with the Hobart FabCOR Edge 1/16" Metal Core Wire. If you are tired of spending valuable time chipping away slag or grinding off stubborn silicon islands before painting, this is the wire you have been waiting for. Hobart has engineered the FabCOR Edge specifically to produce cleaner welds right out of the gate. The unique formula ensures that silicon deposits are kept to an absolute minimum, often eliminating the need for pre-paint cleaning entirely. For shops that handle high-volume fabrication, this means you can move parts to the paint booth faster than ever before.

This 33lb spool is built for performance. The 1/16-inch diameter allows for high amperage and fast travel speeds, laying down metal quickly and efficiently. It is designed to run on a mixture of Argon and CO2 (75-95% Argon), which helps create a buttery smooth arc with virtually no spatter. This means less time cleaning your nozzle and less time cleaning the part. The bead profile is flat and smooth, with excellent tie-in at the toes, making your welds look professional with minimal effort. It is classified as E70C-6M-H4, giving you the peace of mind that comes with high-strength, low-hydrogen weld deposits.

Perfect for heavy equipment repair, structural steel, and general fabrication, the FabCOR Edge is designed for flat and horizontal welding positions. It combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored welding with the efficiency and cleanliness of solid wire, giving you the best of both worlds. Whether you are welding on clean steel or material with light mill scale, this wire bites in and performs. Upgrade your shop's capabilities with a wire that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

The recommended shielding gas is a mixture of Argon and Carbon Dioxide, specifically 75% to 95% Argon with the balance being CO2. Richer argon mixtures generally improve arc characteristics and reduce spatter.

The primary advantage is the significant reduction in silicon island formation. This minimizes or eliminates the need for post-weld cleaning (grinding or chipping) prior to painting or coating.

This wire is designed for single and multi-pass welding in the flat and horizontal positions.

The AWS classification is E70C-6M-H4. This indicates a 70ksi tensile strength, metal-cored electrode, for use with mixed gas, with low hydrogen content (H4).

As a metal-cored wire, it produces very little slag compared to flux-cored wires. It may produce small silicon islands, but FabCOR Edge is formulated to minimize even these.

This product is a 1/16 inch diameter wire supplied on a 33lb spool.

Yes, due to its high deposition rates, low spatter, and consistent arc characteristics, it is an excellent choice for robotic and automated welding applications.

This wire is designed to be used with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity.
