The Hobart Fabco 71 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for general fabrication and structural steel applications. This specific spool (SKU S284915-053) comes in a 0.052-inch diameter and is packaged in a 33-pound vacuum-packed spool (VPSP) to ensure maximum freshness and protection against moisture absorption during storage. Known for its versatility, the Fabco 71 is an all-position wire that delivers consistent performance whether you are welding flat, horizontal, vertical-up, or overhead.
Engineered for high productivity, this wire features a fast-freezing slag system that supports high deposition rates, particularly in out-of-position welding. It is formulated to operate smoothly with either 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 gas mixture, giving fabricators flexibility based on their available gas supply and desired arc characteristics. The wire produces a flat bead with excellent appearance and slag that often peels off by itself or with minimal effort, significantly reducing cleanup time between passes.
Josef Gas provides this industrial-grade consumable to support heavy-duty welding operations. The Fabco 71 meets AWS E71T-1C and E71T-1M classifications, ensuring it meets rigorous industry standards for mechanical properties, including tensile strength and impact toughness. Whether used in shipbuilding, heavy equipment repair, or general construction, this wire offers the reliability professional welders demand.
