Hobart Fabco 711M .045" Flux-Cored Wire – 33lb Spool

The Hobart Fabco 711M is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Packaged in a standard 33lb spool, this .045-inch diameter wire is engineered for welding carbon steels and higher-strength steels where E71T-1 properties are required. It is a go-to choice for industries ranging from shipbuilding to railcar manufacturing, offering a reliable solution for both single and multiple pass applications.

One of the standout characteristics of the Fabco 711M is its versatility regarding shielding gas. It performs exceptionally well with both 100% CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixtures, giving shops the flexibility to utilize existing gas supplies without compromising weld quality. The wire is formulated to produce a stiff arc, which significantly aids in achieving deep penetration—a critical factor when working with thicker structural components. This penetration capability ensures strong root fusion and reduces the risk of lack-of-fusion defects in critical joints.

For operators, the Fabco 711M offers excellent playability. The fast-freezing slag system supports all-position welding, making it easier to manage the weld puddle in vertical-up and overhead positions. This feature is particularly beneficial in field construction and shipyard environments where rotating the workpiece is not possible. Additionally, the wire is designed to generate lower fume levels compared to many conventional flux-cored wires, contributing to a cleaner working environment.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of consistent consumable quality. The Hobart Fabco 711M delivers uniform wire feeding and stable arc characteristics, reducing downtime associated with contact tip burn-back or bird-nesting. Whether you are fabricating heavy equipment or erecting structural steel, this wire provides the mechanical properties and operational efficiency needed to keep projects on schedule.
