OVERVIEW

Reliable Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco 711M .052" welding wire is a premium choice for industrial fabricators requiring consistency, strength, and versatility. Packaged in a convenient 33lb spool, this gas-shielded flux-cored wire is engineered to tackle the most demanding jobs in shipbuilding, railcar construction, and general heavy equipment fabrication. When your project involves thick structural steel or requires welding in difficult positions, the Fabco 711M delivers the performance needed to maintain high productivity levels without sacrificing weld quality.

One of the standout features of this wire is its stiff arc characteristic. This property allows for deep penetration into the base metal, ensuring solid fusion even on thicker plates. This makes it an excellent candidate for structural construction where weld integrity is paramount. Additionally, the wire is designed with a fast-freezing slag system. This feature is critical for operators welding out-of-position, such as vertical-up or overhead, as it supports the weld puddle and prevents sagging, resulting in a flatter, more professional bead profile.

Flexibility in shielding gas selection is another benefit of the Fabco 711M. It operates effectively with both 100% CO2, which is cost-effective and provides deep penetration, and a mixture of 75% Argon / 25% CO2, which offers a smoother arc and reduced spatter. This adaptability allows workshops to utilize their existing gas supplies without compromising on performance. Whether you are performing single-pass welds on thinner sections or multi-pass welds on heavy plate, this wire provides a stable arc and easy slag removal, reducing post-weld cleanup time and labor costs.

At Josef Gas, we understand that industrial welding demands consumables that perform consistently spool after spool. The Hobart Fabco 711M is formulated to meet these rigorous standards, providing excellent impact toughness and mechanical properties that meet AWS E71T-1 specifications. By choosing this wire, you are investing in a product that enhances operator control and delivers durable, high-quality welds across a wide range of applications.
