S297912-029 - Hobart Fabco Element 71C Low-Manganese Flux-Cored Wire .045 33lb

Hobart Fabco Element 71C .045" Flux-Cored Wire - 33lb Spool

The Hobart Fabco Element 71C is a revolutionary gas-shielded flux-cored wire specifically engineered to address the growing concerns regarding manganese exposure in the welding industry. Available from Josef Gas in a 33lb spool with a 0.045-inch diameter, this wire is an essential consumable for industrial operations prioritizing safety and compliance. It is designed to meet the rigorous demands of structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing while assisting companies in adhering to OSHA regulations and ACGIH recommendations for manganese limits.

What sets the Fabco Element 71C apart is its advanced chemical formulation, which produces 60% to 80% less manganese in the weld fume compared to traditional E71T-1C products. Despite this significant reduction in hazardous fume generation, the wire does not compromise on performance. It delivers excellent mechanical properties and low diffusible hydrogen levels, ensuring robust and crack-resistant welds. This makes it a reliable choice for critical applications where weld integrity is paramount.

For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Fabco Element 71C represents a strategic investment in workplace safety without the need to overhaul existing equipment. It operates effectively with 100% CO2 shielding gas, common in many industrial settings, and offers versatile all-position welding capabilities. By choosing this low-manganese wire, facilities can better manage air quality in confined spaces and high-volume production environments, potentially reducing the burden on fume extraction systems.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet strict manganese exposure limits.
• High Performance: Maintains the mechanical strength expected of E71T-1C wires.
• Versatility: Suitable for single and multi-pass applications in all positions.
