Hobart Fabco 812-Ni1M .045" Flux-Cored Welding Wire

The Hobart Fabco 812-Ni1M is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered with a nominal 1% Nickel content, this wire is specifically formulated to provide excellent mechanical toughness and impact strength at lower temperatures, making it a preferred choice for industries operating in harsh or cold environments. The "M" designation indicates that this wire is optimized for use with mixed shielding gas (typically 75% Argon / 25% CO2), which helps produce a smooth, stable arc with reduced spatter compared to straight CO2 wires.

This .045-inch diameter wire is packaged in a convenient 10-pound spool, suitable for portable wire feeders and smaller production runs where mobility is key. One of the standout features of the Fabco 812-Ni1M is its versatility regarding heat treatment. It is designed to maintain its high tensile strength and Charpy V-Notch impact properties in both the as-welded condition and after Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT). This makes it an invaluable consumable for complex fabrication projects where stress relief is required to ensure the structural integrity of the final assembly.

For industrial clients involved in critical infrastructure, the low hydrogen levels of the Fabco 812-Ni1M are a significant advantage, drastically reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in high-strength steels. The fast-freezing slag system supports all-position welding, allowing operators to perform vertical-up and overhead welds with ease and confidence. Whether used for single-pass or multiple-pass applications, this wire delivers consistent, high-quality results that meet stringent AWS E81T1-Ni1M specifications.

Key Industrial Benefits

Choosing the Fabco 812-Ni1M ensures compliance with demanding engineering standards found in the energy and maritime sectors. Its ability to deposit high-quality weld metal with minimal defects reduces the need for costly rework. The wire's excellent feedability and arc characteristics improve operator comfort and efficiency, leading to higher productivity on the shop floor or in the field.
