When the integrity of a weld is paramount, professional fabricators turn to the Hobart Fabco 85. This 3/32-inch flux-cored welding wire is engineered for heavy-duty applications where deposit quality cannot be compromised. Unlike standard general-purpose wires, the Fabco 85 utilizes a basic slag system. This chemical formulation is specifically designed to produce weld deposits with exceptional mechanical properties, ensuring that your projects stand up to the most rigorous stresses found in industries like mining, construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
One of the standout features of this wire is its low hydrogen content. In the world of heavy fabrication, hydrogen-induced cracking is a significant risk, especially when welding thick sections of steel or materials that are under high restraint. The Fabco 85 minimizes this risk significantly, providing a safety margin that engineers and project managers rely on. Whether you are repairing the boom of an excavator, fabricating structural beams for a skyscraper, or maintaining agricultural machinery, this wire delivers the crack resistance necessary for safety and longevity.
Versatility is also key to the Fabco 85's performance. It is designed for both single and multiple-pass welding, allowing operators to build up welds on thick materials without worrying about inclusion defects common in lesser wires. It offers flexibility in shielding gas selection, operating effectively with either 100% CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or an Argon/CO2 blend for a smoother arc and reduced spatter. Packaged in a substantial 60 lb coil, this product is geared towards industrial users who require consistent feedability and fewer changeovers during long welding shifts. Choose Hobart Fabco 85 when "good enough" isn't an option and structural integrity is the top priority.
