S246529-065 - Hobart Fabco RXR E70T-1 Flux-Cored Wire 3/32 250lb Drum

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.
