S659519-029 - Hobart Fabco 95K2 1/16-Inch Flux-Cored Wire 33lb Spool

High-Performance Flux-Cored Wire for Critical Applications

The Hobart Fabco 95K2 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered with a basic slag formulation, this wire excels in delivering high tensile strength and superior impact properties, particularly at low temperatures. It is specifically formulated to weld High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) and Quench and Tempered (Q&T) steels, making it an indispensable consumable for sectors requiring absolute weld integrity, such as shipbuilding, offshore platform construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing.

One of the defining characteristics of the Fabco 95K2 is its low diffusible hydrogen content (typically designated as H4). This feature significantly reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking (cold cracking), which is a critical concern when welding high-strength steels like HY-80, ASTM A514, and A710. The wire provides excellent fracture toughness, ensuring that weldments maintain their structural integrity even under severe stress and sub-zero operating conditions. Its mechanical properties are consistent and reliable, meeting AWS E91T1-K2 specifications.

Operational versatility is another key benefit. The Fabco 95K2 performs well with both 100% CO2 and a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas blend, allowing fabricators to adapt to available gas supplies or specific arc characteristic preferences. It is suitable for both single and multiple pass applications in all positions, providing flexibility for complex joint configurations. The 1/16-inch diameter allows for higher deposition rates compared to smaller wires, optimizing productivity on thick-section materials. Packaged in a 33lb spool, it fits standard industrial wire feeders, ensuring seamless integration into existing welding workflows.
