Premium Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 Flux-Cored Wire

The Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 is a premier choice for industrial welding applications requiring reliability, versatility, and operator comfort. This .052-inch diameter wire comes in a standard 33lb spool and is engineered to perform exceptionally well in all positions. As a gas-shielded flux-cored wire, it offers the flexibility to operate with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2, allowing fabrication shops to utilize their existing gas supplies without compromising on weld quality. The wire is specifically formulated for mild and low alloy steel applications, making it a staple in heavy manufacturing environments.

One of the standout characteristics of the Excel-Arc 71 is its fast-freezing slag system. This feature is critical for vertical-up and overhead welding, as it supports the weld puddle effectively, enabling higher deposition rates than many comparable wires. For businesses focused on throughput and efficiency, this translates to faster project completion times. Additionally, the slag is designed for easy removal, often peeling off with minimal effort, which significantly reduces inter-pass cleaning time and labor costs associated with post-weld grinding.

Josef Gas recommends this wire for industries ranging from structural steel fabrication to shipbuilding and heavy equipment repair. Its mechanical properties meet rigorous AWS standards (E71T-1C/M), ensuring that welds are not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound with good impact toughness. Whether you are welding thick structural beams or general machinery components, the Hobart Fabco Excel-Arc 71 delivers consistent, high-quality results that professionals trust.
