OVERVIEW

Hobart Fabco 711M .045" Flux-Cored Welding Wire (50lb Spool)

The Hobart Fabco 711M (Internal SKU: S248812-027) is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for high-demand industrial applications. Packaged in a 50-pound spool, this .045-inch diameter wire meets AWS E71T-1C and E71T-1M classifications, making it a versatile choice for shops requiring compliance with stringent structural codes. It is engineered to perform with both 100% CO2 and 75% Argon/25% CO2 shielding gas mixtures, providing flexibility in operational costs and arc characteristics.

This wire is specifically formulated for welding carbon steels and higher-strength low-alloy steels. It features a fast-freezing slag system that supports all-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead, without compromising bead shape or integrity. The wire produces a low hydrogen weld deposit (typically under 8ml/100g), which is critical for minimizing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in heavy structural components. The 50lb spool size is ideal for industrial wire feeders used in continuous manufacturing environments.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Diameter: 0.045 inches
  • Spool Weight: 50 lbs
  • AWS Classifications: E71T-1C, E71T-1M, E71T-9C, E71T-9M
  • Shielding Gas: 100% CO2 or 75% Ar / 25% CO2
  • Current: DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive)

Ideally suited for shipbuilding, railcar fabrication, and heavy equipment repair, the Fabco 711M offers consistent feedability and reliable mechanical properties, including excellent Charpy V-Notch impact toughness at sub-zero temperatures.

FAQ

This wire can be used with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2.

Yes, Fabco 711M has a fast-freezing slag system that makes it excellent for out-of-position welding, including vertical-up.

This is a 50lb spool of .045" diameter wire.

Fabco 711M runs on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive).

While it meets E71T-1/1M/9/9M standards, always verify specific seismic lot testing requirements against your project codes.

It comes as a single 50lb spool, typically boxed. Pallet quantities are available for bulk orders.

It is designed for carbon steels and some higher-strength low-alloy steels where E71T-1 properties are sufficient.

A stiff arc provides greater directional control and deeper penetration, which is beneficial for welding thicker materials and ensuring root fusion.
