Hobart FabCO 803: Premium Flux-Cored Wire for Critical Applications

Josef Gas is proud to offer the Hobart FabCO 803, a high-performance gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for the most demanding industrial environments. This 1/16-inch diameter wire comes in a substantial 60 lb coil, ensuring long run times and reduced changeover frequency for high-volume operations. It is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of welding fine-grained steels and 2% nickel steels, making it a staple inventory item for fabricators in the energy and marine sectors.

The FabCO 803 is renowned for its mechanical properties, particularly its ability to maintain high impact strengths at low temperatures. This characteristic is essential for projects located in cold climates or deep-sea environments where standard mild steel wires might fail due to brittleness. By stocking this wire, you ensure your team has access to consumables that meet strict code requirements for toughness and durability.

Versatility is a key benefit of this product. It operates effectively with both 100% CO2 and mixed gases (75-80% Argon / Balance CO2), allowing shops to utilize their existing gas supply setups without needing specialized mixtures. The wire produces a fast-freezing slag, which supports all-position welding capabilities—vertical up, overhead, or flat—giving welders the flexibility needed for complex structural assemblies.

At Josef Gas, we understand that consistent quality is non-negotiable. The Hobart FabCO 803 delivers a stable arc with low spatter, reducing post-weld cleaning and grinding. This efficiency translates to lower labor costs and faster project turnaround times. Whether you are repairing heavy mining equipment or fabricating pressure vessels, this wire provides the reliability professional welders expect from the Hobart brand.
