OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade E70T-1 Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco RXR is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing. Formulated with a specific chemical composition rich in de-oxidizing elements, this wire (AWS E70T-1, E70T-9) excels in applications where base materials may present surface contaminants such as rust, mill scale, or oil. This specific SKU (S246529-065) is supplied in a substantial 250 lb drum, optimized for high-volume welding stations, robotic cells, or continuous operations where downtime for spool changes must be minimized.

Engineered for flat and horizontal positioning, the Fabco RXR utilizes 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing a cost-effective solution without compromising on mechanical integrity. The 3/32" diameter allows for high amperage operating ranges, resulting in deep penetration and exceptional deposition rates. This makes it particularly suitable for welding thick plate sections found in shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and heavy earth-moving equipment. The slag system is designed for easy detachment, often peeling off by itself, which significantly reduces post-weld cleaning labor and abrasive consumption.

From a metallurgical perspective, the Fabco RXR deposits weld metal with consistent mechanical properties, meeting AWS requirements for tensile strength and ductility. Its ability to bridge gaps and maintain a stable arc over contaminants ensures structural integrity even in less-than-ideal fit-up conditions. For procurement managers and facility engineers, the 250 lb drum packaging represents a strategic choice to streamline logistics and enhance shop floor efficiency.

FAQ

Hobart Fabco RXR is designed to operate with 100% CO2 shielding gas.

No, this is an AWS E70T-1 class wire, which is designed for Flat and Horizontal positions only. It is not suitable for out-of-position welding.

This specific product is 3/32 inch (approx. 2.4mm) in diameter.

Fabco RXR has a high level of de-oxidizers in its flux core, allowing it to weld effectively over moderate rust and mill scale without porosity.

This product comes in a 250 lb (approx. 113 kg) drum, suitable for high-volume or automated applications.

It is widely used in railcar manufacturing, shipbuilding, heavy equipment fabrication, and general structural steel work.

Yes, Fabco RXR is known for excellent slag removal, often peeling off on its own, which reduces cleanup time.
