OVERVIEW

Hobart Fabco 711M 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire – 33lb Spool

For industrial welders seeking a reliable, high-performance consumable for heavy-duty fabrication, the Hobart Fabco 711M 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire stands out as a top-tier choice. Packaged in a substantial 33lb spool, this wire is engineered to tackle rigorous welding tasks found in shipbuilding, railcar construction, and general structural steel fabrication. Josef Gas is proud to offer this premium Hobart filler metal, ensuring your shop is equipped with materials that drive productivity and weld quality.

The Fabco 711M is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for joining carbon steels and higher strength low-alloy steels. Its 1/16-inch diameter is particularly well-suited for heavier plate applications where deposition rate and penetration are critical. One of the primary benefits of this wire is its versatility; it performs exceptionally well in all positions, including vertical-up and overhead, thanks to its fast-freezing slag system. This means operators can weld complex assemblies without constantly repositioning the workpiece, saving valuable time and labor costs.

When you purchase from Josef Gas, you are getting a product known for its consistency. The Fabco 711M provides a stiff arc characteristic, which helps drive the weld metal into the joint for deep penetration—a must-have for structural integrity in heavy equipment and construction. Furthermore, the slag produced is generally easy to remove, reducing the downtime associated with post-weld cleaning and grinding. Whether you are running 100% CO2 for economy and penetration or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mix for a smoother arc, this wire adapts to your shop's specific shielding gas setup.

Invest in the Hobart Fabco 711M for your next project and experience the difference that a high-quality, all-position wire can make. Its low hydrogen deposit helps prevent cracking, ensuring that your welds meet the stringent code requirements often seen in industrial sectors. Order your 33lb spools today and keep your production line moving efficiently.

FAQ

Hobart Fabco 711M is designed to operate with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2.

This specific product is 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm) in diameter.

Yes, Fabco 711M is an all-position wire with a fast-freezing slag, making it excellent for vertical-up and overhead welding.

This product comes on a 33 lb (approx. 15 kg) spool.

This is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire (FCAW-G), not a solid MIG wire.

This wire runs on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

It is designed for welding carbon steels and some higher strength low-alloy steels found in structural and heavy equipment applications.

Fabco 711M typically meets AWS D1.8 seismic requirements, but you should always verify the specific lot certificate and code requirements for your project.
