S280343-008 - Hobart SubCOR 120S 1/8-Inch SAW Wire 600lb Drum

Industrial Grade High-Strength Submerged Arc Wire

The Hobart SubCOR 120S is a premium metal-cored electrode designed specifically for the submerged arc welding (SAW) process. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication, this 1/8-inch diameter wire is supplied in a substantial 600 lb drum, making it an ideal choice for automated systems and continuous welding operations where minimizing downtime is critical. The SubCOR 120S is formulated to weld high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, typically matching yield strengths of 100,000 psi and tensile strengths in the 120,000 psi range when paired with appropriate fluxes.

Unlike solid wires, the metal-cored construction of the SubCOR 120S allows for higher current densities and significantly increased deposition rates. This results in faster travel speeds and improved productivity without compromising the mechanical integrity of the weld. The wire provides excellent impact toughness, even at low temperatures, making it suitable for critical applications in offshore construction, crane manufacturing, and heavy earth-moving equipment. Its composition ensures a low hydrogen deposit, reducing the risk of cold cracking in thick sections of high-strength steel.

Josef Gas provides this product in bulk 600 lb drums to support large-scale manufacturing environments. The consistent feedability and arc stability of Hobart's cored wires ensure high-quality welds with minimal defects, reducing the need for costly rework. Whether used for single or multi-pass welding, the SubCOR 120S delivers the performance required for structural integrity in the most demanding environments.
