Hobart Fabco Element 71T1M: Advanced Safety and Performance

The Hobart Fabco Element 71T1M .045" 33lb Spool represents a significant leap forward in welding consumable technology, specifically designed to address the growing concerns regarding manganese exposure in industrial environments. As regulatory bodies like OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH tighten recommendations and requirements for manganese (Mn) limits, fabrication shops are seeking solutions that ensure compliance without sacrificing productivity. The Fabco Element 71T1M is formulated to deliver a massive 60-80% reduction in manganese levels within the weld fume compared to traditional E71T-1M products. This reduction is critical for facilities aiming to lower the baseline exposure for their workforce, particularly in high-volume manufacturing sectors or confined space applications where fume concentration can rapidly become a hazard.

Beyond its safety profile, this wire maintains the high-performance standards expected from the Hobart brand. It is a gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for use with mixed gases (typically 75% Argon / 25% CO2), providing a smooth, stable arc and excellent mechanical properties. The wire features low diffusible hydrogen levels, which is essential for minimizing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in critical structural applications. This makes it a reliable choice for industries such as shipbuilding, railcar construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing where weld integrity is paramount.

The Fabco Element 71T1M does not compromise on usability. It offers excellent out-of-position capability, allowing welders to tackle vertical and overhead welds with ease. The slag system is designed for easy removal, reducing post-weld cleanup time and improving overall throughput. By integrating this wire into your production line, you are investing in both the health of your welders and the quality of your output. It is the ideal solution for modern fabrication challenges where safety regulations and efficiency demands intersect.
