S247012-029 - Hobart FabCO TR-70 .045 Flux-Cored Wire, 33lb Spool (E70T-1C)

Hobart FabCO TR-70 Flux-Cored Wire Overview

The Hobart FabCO TR-70 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for high-performance welding on mild and low-alloy steels. Engineered to meet AWS E70T-1C H8 and E70T-9C H8 classifications, this wire is optimized for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing a cost-effective solution for heavy industrial applications. The .045-inch diameter wire comes in a 33-pound spool, making it suitable for extended welding sessions in manufacturing and fabrication environments.

One of the defining characteristics of the FabCO TR-70 is its exceptional arc stability and low spatter generation. This wire utilizes a fast-freezing slag system that supports the weld puddle in flat and horizontal positions, allowing for high deposition rates without sacrificing bead quality. The slag is self-peeling or easily removed, which significantly reduces downtime associated with post-weld cleaning. This makes it an ideal choice for industries where throughput and efficiency are critical, such as heavy equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, and structural steel fabrication.

Mechanically, the FabCO TR-70 delivers robust weld deposits with excellent impact toughness. It is formulated to provide deep penetration, ensuring strong fusion even on thicker plates or materials with light rust and mill scale. The wire's composition helps minimize fume generation, improving the working environment for operators compared to traditional flux-cored wires. It is suitable for both single and multiple pass applications, offering versatility across a wide range of joint configurations.
