S651325-002 - Hobart SubCOR 92-S 5/64" SAW Wire 60lb Coil

Technical Overview of Hobart SubCOR™ 92-S

The Hobart SubCOR™ 92-S is a premium low-alloy composite metal-cored wire electrode engineered specifically for the submerged arc welding (SAW) process. Identified by the internal SKU S651325-002, this 5/64-inch diameter wire is supplied in a 60 lb coil, designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-strength industrial fabrication. The wire conforms to AWS A5.23 specifications with an ECM1 classification, indicating its suitability for welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels where mechanical integrity is paramount.

One of the defining technical characteristics of the SubCOR™ 92-S is its metal-cored construction. Unlike solid wires, this composite electrode allows for higher current densities, which translates directly into improved deposition rates at comparable amperages. This efficiency makes it a preferred choice for heavy manufacturing environments where throughput is critical. The chemical composition meets the M1 requirement, ensuring consistent metallurgical performance. It is formulated to yield weld deposits with tensile strengths exceeding 80 ksi, providing the necessary structural margin for critical load-bearing components.

Metallurgically, the SubCOR™ 92-S excels in impact toughness. It is designed to retain high impact resistance at low temperatures, a crucial property for structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This toughness is maintained in both the as-welded and stress-relieved conditions, offering flexibility in post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) procedures without compromising joint integrity. The wire is compatible with a broad range of Hobart fluxes, allowing welding engineers to tailor the flux-wire combination to specific joint designs and surface conditions.

This electrode is optimized for both single and multiple pass welding applications. Its ability to lay down sound, defect-free weld metal at high speeds makes it an essential consumable for the fabrication of wind towers, ship panels, and heavy structural components. The 60 lb coil packaging ensures a balance between handling ease and run-time duration, suitable for standard SAW equipment setups.
