S289812-032 - Hobart Fabco 750M .045" Gas-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire 10lb Spool

High-Performance Wire for Critical Structural Applications

The Hobart Fabco 750M is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered specifically for the welding of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels. With a diameter of .045 inches and packaged in a convenient 10lb spool, this consumable is tailored for demanding industrial environments where weld integrity is paramount. It is particularly effective for joining steels with yield strengths in the 100 ksi range, such as ASTM A514, A710, and EQ56, making it a staple in heavy fabrication sectors.

Optimized for Offshore and Heavy Industry

Designed to meet the rigorous standards of the offshore industry, the Fabco 750M excels in the fabrication of jack-up rigs and other marine structures. Its formulation provides the necessary mechanical properties, including superior impact toughness, to withstand the harsh conditions and dynamic stresses associated with offshore platforms. Additionally, it serves as an excellent choice for onshore pipeline overmatch applications, ensuring that the weld metal matches or exceeds the strength of the base material for durable, long-lasting joints.

Technical Specifications and Usability

This wire operates using a mixed shielding gas, specifically 75-80% Argon with a balance of CO2. This gas mixture contributes to a stable arc, reduced spatter, and a smooth bead profile. The Fabco 750M is an all-position wire, allowing operators to perform high-quality welds in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions without sacrificing performance. This versatility is crucial for complex structural assemblies where positioning the workpiece is not always feasible. The 10lb spool size is particularly advantageous for use with portable "suitcase" style wire feeders often employed in field operations and tight spaces on construction sites.

Key Material Compatibility

Fabricators working with Quenched and Tempered (Q&T) steels will find the Fabco 750M to be a reliable solution. It is engineered to minimize the risk of cracking in these sensitive materials while delivering the high tensile strength required. Whether for single-pass or multiple-pass welding procedures, this Hobart wire delivers consistent results, ensuring compliance with stringent engineering specifications.
