Hobart Fabco 712C .052" Flux-Cored Welding Wire

The Hobart Fabco 712C is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered with a specific formulation to deliver exceptional mechanical properties, this wire excels in environments where low-temperature toughness is critical. With a diameter of 0.052 inches and packaged in a 33-pound vacuum-packed spool (VPSP), it ensures factory-fresh performance right out of the box, minimizing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking due to moisture absorption.

This wire is formulated for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing a cost-effective solution without sacrificing arc stability or weld quality. The Fabco 712C is an all-position wire, featuring a fast-freezing slag system that supports vertical-up and overhead welding with ease. Its slag is easily removable, often peeling off by itself, which significantly reduces post-weld cleanup time and improves overall productivity. The wire produces a flat bead profile with excellent tie-in, ensuring high-quality structural connections.

One of the standout features of the Fabco 712C is its low hydrogen designation (H4). This characteristic is vital for industries such as shipbuilding, offshore platform construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing, where the integrity of the weld under stress and cold conditions is paramount. The wire maintains its high impact strength even at temperatures as low as -40°F, making it a reliable choice for projects exposed to harsh climates.

Whether you are welding structural steel, storage vessels, or heavy machinery, the Hobart Fabco 712C offers the consistency and performance required for code-quality work. Its ability to perform well in both as-welded and post-weld heat-treated (PWHT) conditions adds to its versatility, allowing fabricators to use a single wire for a broad range of specifications and procedures.
