S248812-027 - Hobart Fabco 711M .045" Gas-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire 50lb Spool

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.
