The Hobart FabCO 803 is a high-performance gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered for industries that demand uncompromising weld integrity. Specifically designed for welding fine-grained steels and 2% nickel steels, this wire excels in applications requiring exceptional Charpy V-Notch (CVN) toughness at low temperatures. It is a preferred choice for heavy-duty sectors such as shipbuilding, offshore structure fabrication, and pipeline construction where environmental resilience is key.
One of the standout features of the FabCO 803 is its operator-friendly performance. The wire produces a fast-freezing slag that supports all-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead, without sacrificing bead appearance. Its smooth arc characteristics result in low spatter levels, significantly reducing post-weld cleanup time. Whether you are working in a shop or on a field site, the ability to use either 100% CO2 or a 75-80% Argon/Balance CO2 shielding gas mixture provides versatility to match your available resources.
This 33lb spool of 1/16-inch wire offers high deposition rates and deep penetration, ensuring efficient production cycles. The mechanical properties of the weld metal remain consistent even in challenging conditions, providing high impact strengths that meet strict industry standards. For professionals seeking a reliable solution for low-alloy steel welding, the Hobart FabCO 803 delivers proven results.
