S247115-023 - Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 0.052" Flux-Cored Wire, 15kg Spool

Reliable Mild Steel Flux-Cored Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial fabrication. Engineered for versatility and performance, this 0.052-inch diameter wire is an excellent choice for welding mild and low-alloy steels across a wide range of applications. Whether you are working in shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing, or general structural fabrication, the Excel-Arc 71 delivers consistent, high-quality results that professionals trust.

One of the standout features of this wire is its exceptional all-position capability. The fast-freezing slag system supports the weld puddle effectively, making it particularly easy to use for vertical-up and overhead welding without sacrificing bead appearance or penetration. This flexibility allows fabrication shops to handle complex assemblies without constantly repositioning parts, thereby increasing overall productivity and throughput. The wire is packaged in a convenient 15 kg (33 lb) spool, which is a standard size for many industrial wire feeders, ensuring compatibility with your existing equipment setup.

Beyond its usability, the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 is formulated to improve the workshop environment. It produces significantly lower fume levels compared to conventional flux-cored wires, contributing to better air quality and operator comfort. Additionally, the low spatter generation minimizes the need for post-weld grinding and cleanup, allowing your team to focus on welding rather than finishing. Compatible with both 100% CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixed shielding gases, this wire offers the flexibility to optimize for cost or arc characteristics depending on the specific job requirements.
