S305412-045 - Hobart HB-28 ER70S-6 .045" MIG Welding Wire - 45lb Spool

Smooth Feeding, Low Spatter MIG Wire

Welders know that fighting your wire feeder is the quickest way to ruin a day's production. The Hobart HB-28 .045" MIG wire is built to eliminate those headaches. With its superior copper coating, this wire glides through your gun liner and contact tip, giving you a consistent, stable arc that goes exactly where you point it. Say goodbye to stuttering feeds and burn-backs; this wire is designed for smooth performance in the shop or the field.

If you are welding on steel that isn't perfectly clean, the HB-28 is your best friend. It is an ER70S-6 class wire, which means it is loaded with extra deoxidizers (manganese and silicon). These additives act like cleaning agents in the weld puddle, floating out impurities from rust or mill scale so you don't end up with porosity. The result is a solid, strong weld even on less-than-perfect metal. It wets out beautifully at the toes, leaving a flat bead profile that looks professional and ties in easily on multi-pass welds.

This 45lb spool is perfect for your shop's wire feeder, giving you plenty of runtime between changeovers. It runs great on straight CO2 if you need to dig deep on thicker plate, but it really shines with a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix for that classic "bacon frying" sound and minimal spatter cleanup. From farm implements and auto frames to heavy structural beams, the Hobart HB-28 gives you the control and quality you need to lay down perfect beads every time.

Why Choose Hobart HB-28?

• Forgiving on Dirty Metal: Handles rust and scale better than S3 wires.
• Less Cleanup: Low spatter formula means less time grinding.
• All-Position Capable: Great for flat and horizontal fillets, and works out of position with the right settings (short circuit).
• Versatile: Works on everything from thin sheet metal (in short circuit) to heavy plate (in spray transfer).
